This phone is awesome. It can take a serious beating (Here's a video demonstration of its strength), it's waterproof, it has a quad core CPU, 2GB of RAM, and it has a 5000mah reverse charging battery, all at $160. The only problem is that it doesn't support US LTE Bands. I inquired on this topic and the response I got was that they could add the US and most every International LTE signal band if I met the MOQ of 3000. If I were to put this project on a platform like kickstarter, would y'all buy it at $120 (price per piece after MOQ and shipping)? (NOTE: Not taking orders here. I'm just trying to get a good idea at the demand)
 
Wow, that is one tough and awesome looking phone(I'm not really digging the current style that smartphones are taking). The look and the battery alone will make me grab it in a second but my current phone (which battery is also the reason why I picked it up. 4000mah :p) is still only 2 months old. Maybe if they plan to make phone with the same tough look in the future but not right now.
