landrover phone should not have landrover on it the phone is poor 12hrs standby best i got out of mine,GPS could not get to work worst phone i have ever had sent it back got my money back lucky me
Thanks Steve, I nearly bought one of these! thank goodness I didnt.
I have had the opposite experience to Steve, had the phone for 72 hours now, used it non stop and left it on Standby when not in use. It’s still showing as full battery, my old nokia would cried in the corner by now!!
The Phone is as solid as my Land Rover Defender, so far VERY happy customer. It’s not a fashion phone, no choice of ringtones etc (although i’ve downloaded some) BUT if you want a fashion phone there are plenty of chav phones out there… this one is rugged and serves a purpose to almost military spec!
Landrover mobile - I tried it out for 2 weeks, but sent it back… The biggest problem with the phone was that the screen only was able to stay on for 60 seconds maximum… Making it no good for GPS use… There were a few other problems; my speech sounded muffled when I spoke to others on phone… A few other minor problems for an ADVENTURE PHONE…
NEARLY THERE… NEEDS WORK…
hi guys, i read this so called round the dealers, enduromobile (one of the sonim dealers) they say there is a firm ware update out this week, for all users who are experiencing any issues, although they say they havent had real problems with the phone just willful destruction….got to test it i say! gonna take the plunge or maybe pre order the new xp2 spirit, what do ya recon?
landrover phone is great had it a while now batter life is great it is solidly built realy easy to use only 1 real differance to nokia the space key is number 1 insted of 0 once u get used to that your away only 1 small floor loud speeker works great but the mic isnt that good when the phone is more than about a foot away
Bought the landrover phone and changed it within 2 weeks because the battery life was only just over a day not 62.5 as stated!! Got sent a new phone and this one is even worse. Battery has to be charged every day. At the moment I am hardly using it as i am out of work. Whole point on having this phone was that i sometimes work away from home and thought it would be good as the battery would last for the week. How wrong was i!!!!! Wouldn’t recommend this phone to anyone.
hi guys, dont dispair i had a few issues with my land rover phone, battery not lasting more than 48hours, (it did work fine then it didn’t) and my speaker wouldn’t turn up.
Well one of the SONIMS UK REPRESETATIVES, ENDUROMOBILE have a really handy sonim support section with a full factory reset proceedure, went through it and my phone has been fine for 3weeks now, on the same charge!!….ok not that long but it fixed my problem without doing anything else.
happy with the phone again
