1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

   I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

   It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

   The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

   HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

   I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

   BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

   It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

2. Muy buen video! El mejor telefono resistente de la actualidad es el Blackview BV9900 PRO!

3. I still have my S8 Active and it is tough as nails. Still works flawlessly after many accidental drops in concrete, rock, dirt, mud and in water. Only thing I would change would be to have front facing speakers.

4. I work outside alot. I need a rugged phone I am tired of the samsung active phone screen breaking. I broke 2 so far. Looking for a new phone.

5. I have the Cat S60 Android Phone because it's a Man's Phone,

6. Rip headphone users asshole

7. I drive equipment for a living and keeping a working phone has been a big expence for me. I am always breaking the screens by putting the phone in my pocket and then leaning up against the equipment to make repairs or adjustments. Then my last phone (less than 10 days old)was in my pocket when it rained real hard apparently getting it wet and destroying it. I am on my fifth phone in the last year and half. So it only makes sense to shop for a rugged water resistant phone. I think that it would be cheaper to pay more up front for something that is going to last longer I hope. Thanks for the information that was in your video.

8. Kyocara is pronounced key-oh-sarah.

9. FLIR is pronounced fleer

10. i think i will recommend the kyocera duraforce pro 1 and 2.They look pretty cool

11. My ulefone armour is poor quality in construction. The back button fell off and disappeared after a few months and the edges are peeling off after about 9 months

12. Bullshit

13. I'll shoot a nature documentary next year, that's why I'd like to switch to a more rugged phone

14. scrap! where is the sonim xp7, idiot?

15. The s60 looks cool

16. do a detailed comparison with the zenfone max pro and the zenfone 5z

17. Perhaps you should define "need such a phone" because look how many people manage to drop theirs down the toilet or in a puddle. A protective cover rarely helps with water. It isn't just construction workers that need a tougher phone. What about farm workers, engineers, people working with horses, those who have hobbies that take them away from the beaten track and would be in some danger without such a phone to summon help. No one knows when they will "need" one but surely better to have it and not need it than the other way round. That is why so many manufacturers are jumping on the bandwaggon and starting to produce them.

18. Yes I'm a truck driver I definitely need a phone like this.
    I drop my phone alot in my line of work.

19. It's pronounced FLEER

20. Dude, i'm find these phone are adorable. I spent my very first salary to buy a beautiful phone, just the type normal people would buy. Then it died from height in the next month. That made me cry from inside for the whole week. From that time on, i sworn to myself that i will only buy the phone which is build to last and to survive, never waste my money on squishy good looking smartphone again.

21. Try to feature doogee s50 and s60plz

22. Poor picks! Show me some AGM phones.

23. Bro I dont need it at all but Im just sick of babying my damn phones

24. I really want ………but the price is high

25. Just to answer you question.
    I travel a lot. I've been traveling for the last 5 years so I move all the time. I'm living and working in different environments every couple of months. There's a beach, waterfall, river, multi-day mountain trek, hiking, boat trip, kayaking, etc every week, along with working different kinds of jobs. So my environment changes pretty often and unpredictable things happen daily. I lost 4 phones in the last year alone due to water or shock damage and that's why I'm looking for something resistant.

26. Been through 4 galaxy s7 edges this year.
    I wish Verizon made a better phone.

27. What about the Kyocera duraforce pro

28. Is there one for sprint

29. To bad none of them work on verizon network grrrrrrrr

30. I need a rugged phone. I may give it a try

31. Ive had cat s60 for a year, it is not as rugged as promised, but lasted a year before screen chipped. Battery started sucking as well.

32. I’m a writer yet i have cat s41, i love it besides my iphone. One day I’m gunna have to smash someone’s head as a self defense ✌️

33. more rugged phones! hvac technician. thermal flir is cool. what about non contact temperature readings?

34. im a military mechanic and rather clumsy so i need rugged

35. Damn straight I need a rugged mobile phone. I head out into the bush doing bush-walks and even snow hikes most of my tech equipment need to be at least IP68 (GPS, camera, UHF radio etc.) looking for a good waterproof phone at the moment..

36. I do

37. REGARDING COMPANIES KYOCERA & VERIZON AND THE PHONE: Kyocera DuraXV LTE with camera in Black MODEL: E4610

    Warning: (**very important negative aspects of this phone, Kyocera & Verizon):
    I relied almost completely on reviews about this phone… and I really need to let others know the truth about it and the **lack of-poor customer service with *Kyocera & *Verizon! Readers need to know not to make the same mistake at purchasing an **overpriced defective device that is nothing like it is advertised to be; and that there is **no support or help with this phone & company to fix and or replace it when there are problems, even when it is still brand new! Kyocera customer service was **rude and unwilling to take any responsibility for having a defective phone and were very cold and callous. Verizon was similar except some said they would help but when it came down to the final issues, they had told me wrong and there was no help, even tho I did purchase the phone thru them and complained about it from day 1, numerous times.

    **I was expecting a good camera but yet I constantly have picture problems! There are vertical rainbow colored like lines in my pictures…and I send them to my computer as a text message and then to WORD to edit and make better but the colored ugly lines are awful and I cannot remove them. **Also, when I am on a call, people at the other end of my calls always have troubles hearing me, “Hello, are you there?” “Hello, Hello, Hello????” or “I lost you!” … are very common, every time, call comments I have to deal with. For service I will have only 1 to 2 bars of service showing on phone screen, but yet, same location, my son has full bars of service, different phone but with Verizon as well! FYI: while waiting forever at a Verizon store last night, the Verizon service girl noticed that I did not have many bars for service in their store when I should have, and she did on her phone! I constantly have to move around to find a place where the others can hear me; and then that too changes. Someone said there is possibly internal damage or a defect of some kind to the internal antenna, as well as the camera too; **and there are crack like marks around the camera area or close to the hinged area at the top of the phone that keep growing… that I DID NOT DO! The flip up top is just falling apart! **Supposed to be one of the most durable and rugged phones and that is why I got it! Camera is supposed to be good but is not! I think this is a new phone and just came out on the market Fall of 2017.

    I am a single 55 year old female with no kids or other people around. If the phone is not with me it is laying down on a counter or table; and if it is with me, usually in my pants pocket if not in use. I do nothing rough or rugged but yet small scratch like marks appear and then turn into a small thin crack like looking mark as well as a possible potential future chip off the top of the surface waiting to happen. I have done nothing at all to create such cracks on this brand new rugged phone (I don’t even use my phone very much)! I have NOT dropped it or hit it to cause them and they seem to appear and grow daily! I have made numerous complaints to Verizon about this phone since the beginning when I first got the phone (12/6/2017) up until today even (2/6/2018); and I have not gotten any help and wasted lots of time and money that I do not have. I can’t afford this phone but I got it anyway because I really wanted a better, more rugged phone with a great camera and call reception capability for which I read numerous reviews and descriptions regarding this phone before I decided to purchase it thru Verizon. I was hoping for and expecting a better phone, but it is not! I want to warn others that this phone is not at all worth the expensive price it is sold for; and the companies involved will not take any responsibility for any defects or problems with the phone, even if under **warranty, there is always a “catch” and the buyer is screwed here with this phone and service or lack of it!

38. Please review lgxventure an alternative to samsung s8 active

39. I have had the Cat S-60 for a year now and it is a Beast
    I have dropped it off a house
    a few scratches but still works great
    I take it swimming with me and on the jetski
    the camera is not great but I'm not a photographer
    I would say I love this phone

40. Thanks for the review and info, I am looking for a phone that can withstand low temperatures, alpine winter conditions etc, with durable battery. currently i use iphone 5s and it goes off ofter 30 minutes in cold weather, battery cannot stand low temperatures. these phones from your review seems to fit the job but beside endurance these phones should be able to take good photos as well. but they all seem crappy in that department..

41. I'm just common office rat but I considered my Samsung Galaxy XCover2 as a very good choice I've made. It already swam (not only once) in muddy pool when I was manipulating mobile in rainy weather. Also I was happy for gorilla glass few times so in my opinion it's something which might be not only choice for civil engineer working on buildings 😉

42. I have be scouring the internet looking for a decent Rugged phone. So I'm at least one person to add to this community and Thank you for including the network each phone is active on. Not enough of Youtubers include that.

    On a side note, two other rugged phone producers I have come across are Blackview and Doogee. If you have any thoughts on those I'd like to hear them.

43. It's nice being on construction sites and not worrying about the phone. Rain, dropping, anything really, but I miss the flagship Samsung phones.

44. YOU forgot about the iphone 3

45. Agm x2 for US?

46. Bro say about rugged of 10,000₹pls with 4g

47. In response to how we need rugged phones: I ride motorcycles and I set up my phone attached on the handlebar for GPS navigation assistance and musical accompaniment with Bluetooth paired with a communicator on my helmet. Many of my weekend rides go for hours on end, in light to heavy rain and in sometimes dusty environments. Bad phone attachment would also make me drop my phone at low speed in rough road conditions due to vibrations shaking the phone loose off its clamps. Having a rugged phone would help out a lot in conditions like these. I broke one of my phones not during falls on rides though, but on just a sheer thigh-height drop in the office.

48. Excellent reviews I have a agm x1 it's a good phone nice display and solid build, the camera is not bad as long you get use to the focusing only draw back its android 5.1 and with some Chinese brand I don't get os updates but it's a good rugged phone
