The new Sanyo RL-4930 is a close cousin to the RL-4920, sharing similar features, but packaging them in a new ruggedized and moisture resistant shell.

The Sanyo RL-4930 is not a powerhouse handset, but instead is a solid handset that provides all the basic features in a very durable case. The RL-4930 is an AMPS/CDMA bar style handset, and includes support for Push-To-Talk, voice dialing, and phone based voice mail. The ruggedized Sanyo also includes speakerphone functionality, extended voice recording, and SMS text messaging.
