I personally have the THL 5000T. Great photos, great phone, and I guarantee the battery will last you through the day, but no 1900Mhz. As for rugged, it is relatively tough but MUST be in a case! There are 3 commonly available cases. One is a soft silicone back, the other is a flip case (no storage within the case) with a window and hall switch/monitor, and the last are the many "sticker" type of cases available on Ali. There is one leather custom case with space for $$ and credit cards which is very nice if you decide to go that route.
Now, if what you want is a RUGGED phone, I have heard good things about the NO.1 X-Men X2. Look at the "NO.1 Rugged smartphone big sale on coolicool " link on the right hand side of this website. The price is right and it has the right frequencies. If you hunt around, you will see that a while back I had a few questions about it, most of which were answered to my satisfaction.
Unfortunately, like you, the camera is relatively important. It doesn't have to be AWESOME, but it does have to be good to above average. I've had phones in the past with bad cameras and I refuse to own another one.
I put a question to "coolcool" (no relation, lol) in regards to the camera and antutu score. I might buy one for the heck of it anyways as it's going for $180, has an IP68 rating, larger 5.5" screen with a GREAT battery of 4500mah, which kind of makes it for me. Downside for me is 1GB/8GB, but I would put a 32GB class 10 card in it and root - which solves that little problem for me personally as a trade-off for the super-rugged nature of the device.
Anyways, there is my 2 cents. Good luck and tell us what you decide!
