Phone Scoop

“At its root, the NEC Terrain accomplishes its mission: it offers a hardened smartphone with PTT and a keyboard. There's no doubt in my mind that those who work outdoors and need such a device will be pleased with the Terrain's feature set. The Terrain is a tough device that can survive spills and thrills, but the keyboard and other controls aren't particularly well executed. Worse, the screen is too small and too hard to read, despite my 20/20 vision. But phone calls sound good, it runs well on AT&T's network, and battery life is quite good. The PTT functionality is a bit fussy to set up, but the quality of PTT calls was excellent.”
