The Ericsson R310s, now supported by Sony Ericsson, was a mobile phone produced in the early 2000s in a rugged body designed for use in environments or ways which might easily damage a standard handset.[citation needed]
The outside of the body was reinforced with rubber inlays to withstand harsh treatment and to provide a good grip, preventing the phone from being slippery when wet.[citation needed]
It was water resistant, the lid having silicone gaskets and membranes of GORE All-Weather material which prevented water from leaking in.[citation needed]
At the time the R310s was designed, most handsets still had a vulnerable external antenna.[citation needed] The R310s had a so-called "shark fin" antenna which was short and almost flat, and could withstand flexing.[citation needed]
The software was similar to that in other Ericsson phones of the period and the package offered voice dialing, vibrating call alert, and data/fax capabilities.[citation needed]
Aimed at "active lifestyle" users as well as tradespeople and industry, the phone was available in both high-visibility and fashion colours: bright orange and bright yellow, and more sombre blue and green.
The phone survived slightly longer than others launched at the same time due to the lack of a replacement ruggedised model.[citation needed]
