Kyocera DuraForce taking its ruggedized body to U.S. Cellular tomorrow

After launching at AT&T earlier this month, the Kyocera DuraForce will make the jump to CDMA tomorrow.

The Kyocera DuraForce will launch at U.S. Cellular tomorrow, November 26. It’ll be available in stores and online at a price of $99 with a two-year contract or $0 down and 20 monthly payments of $20  each (total of $400). Whichever option you choose, your DuraForce will offer the following specs:

  • 4.5-inch 1280x720 impact-resistant display
  • 1.4GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor
  • 8-megapixel rear, 2-megapixel front cameras
  • 16GB of storage
  • microSD card slot
  • 2GB of RAM
  • 3100mAh non-removable battery
  • Android 4.4.2
  • Built to Military Standard 810G to stand up to dust, shock, extreme temperatures and blowing rain
  • Glove and Wet Touchscreen Operation
  • Smart Sonic Receiver Technology that transmits sound directly to your eardrum to help block out external noise

While many smartphones include water and dust resistance today, most can’t really be called “rugged.” The Kyocera DuraForce does fit into that category, though, and so if you need your phone to take a licking and keep on ticking, this device is one to check out.
