Sonim XP1 - The Indestructible Mobile Phone

The US based mobile telecom company Sonim Technologies announced the European launch of the new Sonim XP1 handset. The device is an IP-54 certified, mil-spec approved, Bluetooth and Push-To-Talk enabled GSM phone, and has been nicknamed "World's Toughest Phone".

Designed to meet the needs of people who work outside the office and outdoor sports enthusiasts, the Sonim XP1 works perfectly in harsh environments. Certified to withstand shock, water, wind, dust, dirt and extreme temperatures, the Sonim XP1 is the only certified phone designed specifically for the lives of people who work and play in demanding conditions.

SonimTech company is so confident over the durability of the phone that they are inviting bloggers and journalists across Europe to "torture test" it by sending them a new XP1 along with an illustrated how-to guide.

Bob Plaschke, CEO of Sonim comments: "If you're standing on a construction site with a welding tool in your hand, or are sitting in a catamaran with a hard wind in your face, you really don't need a fashion accessory nor a multimedia monster, you need a dependable working tool like the new XP1, built for extreme conditions."

The phone will conitnue to work even after being exposed to the elements, dropped, kicked, tossed into a toolbox or backpack. It can be seen and heard in bright/dark and noisy conditions, and provides reliable voice, push-to-talk and data services.

As well as being very shock water-resistant, the Sonim XP1 is backed by an Unconditional 3 year warranty and a lifetime warranty for the phone housing with immediate in-store replacement if needed. The XP1 is one of the few mobile phones that don't compromise on capability, durability or style.

The company plans to make a world tour with the phone and it seems that it has started in Sweden on December 3rd and will end on December 23rd in Stockholm.
