Pacific shark

A mobile phone can become a classic in many ways: pioneering an era-defining design - like the Motorola V998; or having milestone-worthy outstanding features - like the Siemens 6688; or achieving astronomical sales figures - like the Nokia 8250. However, the Ericsson "Big Shark" R310 that we see today is universally recognized as a classic solely due to its unparalleled three-proof design and bold, forward-thinking outdoor style - even nearly six years later, this shark remains a highly sought-after collector's item on the market. Let's go back to 2006, where rubber casings, waterproof gaskets, impact-resistant antennas, and more made the R310 incredibly sturdy, while also setting the standard for future ruggedized phones. Without further ado, such a standout among a group of sharks is indeed rare, so below, please experience the unique impact brought by these "Pacific Sharks"!
