AT&T and Motorola unveiled Motorola Tundra VA76r, a rugged 3G clamshell device with a tough exterior that can withstand harsh environments. Motorola Tundra VA76r will be available for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate with a two-year contract in AT&T stores on January 13.

While Tundra is a great mobile phone for rugged environments, using PTT, and finding your way with AT&T Navigator, it can also let you do e-mailing and Web browsing for information, news and video with 3G connectivity. The phone also offers access to AT&T music and a 2 megapixel camera to snap and share still images. Tundra also has 100 MB of available memory, up to 4GB of optional removable memory, and it can be paired with a host of compatible Bluetooth enabled accessories.

Besides the rugged feature, TeleNav Track and Xora Mobile Workforce Management tools are supported to help users find their way and their teams. TeleNav Track features include GPS-enabled tracking, turn-by-turn navigation, individual and team timecards, job dispatching, customizable wireless forms, bar code scanning, image capture and signature capture. With Xora, companies can track the location and activities of their workers in real-time, as well as use the Tundra as a tamper-proof time clock - thereby automating the payroll process.

The Motorola Tundra has a multi-tasking operating system, allowing more than one application to run at a time. AT&T’s network also allows for simultaneous voice and data use, so go ahead, answer the phone, surf the net - TeleNav Track, Xora or other applications will not be interrupted and will continue to run seamlessly in the background.
