Should i get an S60 ?

[richie555]

I love the look of this phone, i work in construction, so its ideally suited to me. But there seems to be alot of negativity about it online, so i ask current owners of the S60, would you recommend getting this phone ? thanks

Sorry if I deceive you, but many construction workers I've seen use smartphones with very little protection, usually the jelly case that comes with the phone as accessory. It seems that a thick case would make the phone less handy to them. And upper end devices like iPhone are quite common.

So the real protection is your own awareness and attention, not the armour. Manufacturers have spent millions on design and materials to make your phone beautiful to look at and lovely to touch and you hide it in an ugly case?

I've been happy with the mine. The thermal camera can be quite useful for contractors and in general construction. This Cat S60 review has a couple of good IR photos that show how you can see what's behind walls, etc.

Only get it if you have a need for the thermal camera. If you don't need the thermal camera, there are better phones out there for less money.
