The Sonim XP1 is designed to military specifications to withstand harsh environments and the worst that you can throw at it and it comes with a three year unconditional guarantee to back it up.
"Yeah, we've heard all this before--how tough could it be?" asked Crave. "Well, the company is so confident that it's invited bloggers and journalists across Europe to 'torture-test' the 'indestructible' mobile phone and publicize the results on its campaign blog. You can go here to watch someone tee off on an XP1 with a 9-iron."
Just watch the video of a car running it over for a beginner.
