Samsung B2100 vs Nokia 6250 Water and Shock Proof Phones

Samsung's B2100 seems to be the successor to the old Nokia 6250 I used to lug around. This seems to be a niche market the phone makers have been avoiding for a long time. Phones that can get wet and dropped without worry of breaking. The 6250 was huge and looked just right for a construction worker. It was almost as long as a Parker Ballpen case and 1.5x times as thick as a DVD case.

The Samsung B2100 on the other hand looks about the same size as regular candy bar cellphone. If I had P6,500 MSRP (more or less) I'd probably get one to sub for my Nokia Carbon Arte when I go out of town or go out on the field (I don't want the Carbon Fiber to get scratched LOL).

The B2100 looks smaller but similar to Nokia's faux water/shock resistant 5210:
