JCB tough phone, 3rd link above.

 

A member of staff at college has one, its exactly what it says on the tin - tough.

 

Seems its been well tested too - [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OVAB9mHdSA[/ame]

 

Bit on the expensive side for the technology inside though....

I have the generic version of that phone.I think its made by "Sonim" in Sweden.Good for a while,but the plugs that cover the charger plug and hands free holes soon fall off.Its a good phone,but durable in the short term only.Mine I'm on my second in six months.

Just bought a Blackberry, lets see how long that last for. Samsung seemed to do pretty well for me, before that i had a Nokia, the one with the rubber outside that you could throw/drop even get it wet still worked.

I have managed to break 3 screens and a speaker on my Nokia N95 and now it’s thrown a proper wobbly and wont switch on at all.

 

Have I been unlucky (clumsy) with this phone or is it just not suitable for the type of work?

 

Time to change perhaps? Any suggestions?

so fr dropped the BB a couple of times, once in a puddle and its still going strong, probably the most durable phone I've had. Recommend keeping it in a case tho
