What Will You Do With The World’s Toughest Phone?
Tough phones, laptops and other gadgets serve a niche market segment. I recently tested a tough phone: XP1Â from Sonim, shown here. I was impressed by its design and high degree of tolerance to take abuse. The company, Sonim, claims it to be the world’s toughest phone.
This ruggedized GSM phone is great for use in rough and tough conditions such as construction, outdoor activities, under water and for security professionals. It comes with a push-to-talk feature and SOS service for emergencies. Otherwise it is a bare-bone phone. There are no fancy applications or multimedia capabilities.
This kind of phone is not cheap (around Rs. 22K) but apparently there is a good demand from certain industries and it is in use in Europe. Is there a market for this kind of phone in Pakistan or South Asia? At least its good for venting out anger. Check out the hilarious videos of the phone at toughestphone.com.
