Fancy a near-indestructible mobile phone? Well the chaps at JCB Arena are seriously putting the JCB Toughphone through some rigorous paces in order to set the world record for the planet’s most indestructible mobile phone.
JCB Arena will test the Toughphone to its limits using these JCB construction items; dropping from atop a digger over a story high, covered in sand and dirt while in a cement mixer, submersing in water, and being run over by a JCB Groundhog that weighs over 1.5 tonnes; all this should prove without a shadow of doubt that the IP53 tri-band mobile will stand the rigours of being on a construction site.
Designed with construction workers in mind, the JCB Toughphone features Push-to-talk, dual speakers, extra loud ringtones, and Bluetooth, and will be have a European launch as the Sonim XP1 and will come with a 3 year warranty; you can expect this to be available from Phoens4U and elsewhere from January 8th.

What is the cost to buy with contract.
Cheers
That Fone Lukks Liiek An Bumble Bee :s
Try a Duraphone Q800. More features, Cheaper, Good phone!
the phone looks like like something bob the builder may use tell me he doesnt
Brought one of these recently, great phone, ended up getting it free along with an Xbox 360 Elite in an amazing deal. It’s obviously lacking in features (most of which I find gimmicky on phones anyway) - i.e if I wanted to take a photo i’d use a quality camera, not a phone. The build quality is great and it’s withstood everything i’ve thrown at it so far. It’s great for doing what a phone should (making and recieving calls!) and it won’t fall apart because you knock it off a ledge at work. 9/10
There doesn’t seem to be many reviews of this phone, maybe it’s not worthy of being as durable as the advertising makes out!
dont buy a jcb phone had one for 12 months, terrible phone realy clumsy to use ,allways has a echo tmobile, terrible phone well behind the times ,not as tough as exspected. people think it is a kids toy.key pad is terrible to use. ring tone are old fashioned.
i thinkj the phone looks rubish hahaha
A truly terrible phone.
I work in a very rough environment and it certainly coped with that but always had an echo and worst of all turned itself off repeatedly. As a vet on call this makes it dangerous. My experience was not alone, every one we bought for the practice did the same thing.
None of the features are refined. What you need is a decent phone in a JCB case!
