Drop it like it's...a phone?

Ever get frustrated? Bad Question. How often are you frustrated? If you're like me, you can get frustrated by all the annoying things that come along with life: coworkers not calling you back, getting emails that really yank your chain, or when you get that text that nobody can hang out. It just makes you want to curb stomp that little mobile device. So what do you do?

Well this device from Sonim can take that beating. While it's not a smartphone by any means (so you can't use Facebook) it's something that I would seriously consider purchasing. Coming in at a hefty $525, which isn't too off from buying the new iPhone 4S, Sonim boasts that the XP3300 can withstand a beating: "[water] 2 meters deep is no challenge for this IP-68 rated, water and dust proof handset, which can also be dropped from 2 meters onto concrete. The 2 inch high-resolution display is protected by a class leading 1.5mm thick Corning® Gorilla® Glass lens for the highest scratch and shock resistance." Sounds tough to me. If you doubt it, just take a look at the video.

For guys like me who don't necessarily need apps but would prefer to have something that works all the time, this is the go-to phone. Simply text and talk, and be as clumsy as you need to be. For companies that don't want to want to go into debt just by paying for mobile, this might be a good investment as each phone comes with a 3 year warranty-- just saying.

How do you think you could break this?

  1. Joe that is a very interesting blog post. I think in the future I need to consider buying one of these phones as I have already ruined two iphones on fishing and hunting trips! It might also be a good purchase for you as well my friend!
