Samsung Rugby III dummy units arrived at TELUS earlier this week and it looks like the rugged handset will soon hit shelves.

MobileSyrup reports that the feature phone will arrive at TELUS and Bell Mobility on April 9. Samsung Rugby III is already available for purchase at Rogers, but soon, those who prefer other carriers will be able to buy it as well.

TELUS will offer the Rugby III for $230/€175 outright or $80/€60 with a new three-year agreement, while Bell is expected to launch the handset for $250/€190 on no term.

The Rugby III is a rugged feature phone that sports a 2.4-inch display with 240 x 320 pixels resolution, as well as a 3-megapixel camera. The phone is MIL-STD 810G certified (military compliant) and features a 1300 mAh Li-Ion battery.
