The Land Rover is associated with ruggedness, and Sonim did promise we’d be seen a Land Rover branded mobile phone this year. Well according to Engadget Mobile, the Sonim S1 rugged mobile phone is with the FCC.
Apparently the Sonim S1 is a Land Rover branded highly ruggedised handset that could by the looks of it withstand being run over by a few Land Rovers.
Other than that though there is no mention of any real specification, so we will be waiting to find out just what the Sonim Land Rover S1 offers, along with any pricing and availability.
I got this as an ‘upgrade’ to my Sonim XP3:
The texting software is prehistoric.
The camera picture quality is dire.
The memory card is fitted but the phone says: ‘no memory card - use phone memory’. In other words, it doesn’t recognise the card.
Talking on the phone, people at the other end say sound quality is poor.
In all, I’m disappointed with this, compared to the XP3, especially considering what I paid for it…
