sonim xp1

XP1 model designation has nothing to do with either Micro, or Soft. It stands for Xtreme Performance, simple as that. Sonim XP1 is officially proof against a stream of water, near 1.7-meter-high drop to concrete, and has an operational range from -20C to 60C. We've seen it tossed and kicked around, run over by cars, treaded on by elephants, dropped in a cement mixer. Meet the survivor form factor.

The Sonim XP1 (also known as JCB Toughphone in some markets and the Chuck Norris phone in our office) was created for the most challenging of environments and activities. Hardened rubber is molded to the durable non-porous casing, keypad buttons are tested to 500,000 pushes, the screen has a scratch-resistant coating. Finally, the USB port, ear jack and external antenna port are sealed with pl.astic caps so moist and dirt are kept away from those vulnerable points...........

• Shock, water and dust resistant (after all, we're talking the closest a phone has ever got to a weapon)
• Scratch resistant display

• Bluetooth v1.2 (Object Push and Headset profiles only)

• 1000 SMS storage                                                       (PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU HAVE ZERO OR NEGATING RATINGS,,BIDS WILL BE DELETED)

• 10 MB flash memory
• 2.5 mm audio jack
• Nice battery performance thanks to the Li-Ion 1100 mAh batt

Technically, Sonim XP1 is not alone in its class, but the competition is barely up to par when it comes to the most important point: durability. The XP1 redefines ruggedized and scoffs in the face of Sony Ericsson C702, Nokia 5500 Sport and Samsung M110. That's well reflected in the price too: the XP1 is the most expensive of the lot. Don't bother guessing the cost of GPS, built-in camera, MP3 player, quad-band GSM and 3.5G. Indestructible costs and you'll just have to have Sonim's word on that
