The 5500 is along the same lines but symbian!
It's very robust (for a Nokia) 
Saying that though being in the building trade myself one of the reasons I use  is because through my experience they were the only phones that would see me through a 12 month contract, all the Nokia's I had previous died within 9 months!
3210, 3310, 8210 & 7650 after which I gave up completely on Nokia till recently!

You can still get the motorola e398. Here are some of its feautures, rubber housing, coloured screen, camera, mp3 player, memory card slot, bluetooth and many more.

Apart from being an outdoor phone, what other features are you looking for? I think that will make it easy.

Thanks everyone for your imput. My fiance really hates Nokias, and he needs a decent camera, but apart from that, all ideas are considered. He has had the SE K810i for around 5 months now and the microphone is already damaged due to all the stuff that has ended up in it! |

5100 was a good phone (old as it may be). My dad had dropped it from the 4th floor of scaffolding on the site into a puddle on concrete, amazing how survived with a crack in the fascia (which needed changing) but other than that it was 100& fine.

I would opt for the n5210.The n5500 would be a great choice, but the keypad falls off within 3 months(my 2 did anyway).If nokia have solved this defect it's good.What's more, it's symbian os9.1
