Sonim Tech Introduces the “Indestructible” Mobile Phone

Sonim Technologies has today launched its Sonim XP1 in Europe.Having been available in the US for a few months already, the "indestructible" IP-54 certified, mil-spec approved, bluetooth and Push-To-Talk enabled GSM phone finally makes its way to European customers.

Certified to withstand shock, water, wind, dust, dirt and extreme temperatures, the XP1 is the mobile phone for those who demand more than just looks. Though saying that, the XP1 does come in a choice of six colours (black, yellow, red, lime, blue and grey) and I'm quite liking the yellow pictured below.

Bob Plaschke, CEO of Sonim states in an official press release: "If you're standing on a construction site with a welding tool in your hand, or are sitting in a catamaran with a hard wind in your face, you really don't need a fashion accessory nor a multimedia monster, you need a dependable working tool like the new XP1, built for extreme conditions."
