$100? Oof. It used to be that you could get $20 Nokias like that.

Yeah, it's a bit pricey but certainly a more rugged phone than a $20 dumbphone. I guess the question is: "will it last five times longer or be significantly better?" I haven't tried it.

They have a few models that are quite a lot cheaper than this, but with less battery life and other specs.
