Pros:

Rugged, Good call quality, Long battery life, Powerful LED flashlight.
The Kyocera DuraPlus is made tough and its built-in LED flashlight is useful for low-light environments. The Sprint Direct Connect push-to-talk feature works well and call quality is solid.

Cons:

Huge, Outdated UI, Few features beyond voice.
The DuraPlus has a look only a mother can love and it could stand to lose a few ounces. It doesn't have a camera, a microSD slot, or a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
