I'm after a heavy duty phone. I do a dirty, soggy crappy job

and my phone goes through the mill. I have spotted these

Sonim phones and they are marketed at people like me.

Anyone owned one? I'm not bothered about apps, games

or any other guff like that. I want a phone, camera, text,

and a torch which they seem to have.

Any other recommendations.

I'm currently using a Nokia 3720c but it's 4 years old now and

seen better days but has been a good phone.

Never seen one, but also have a look at the Samsung B2710, that has everything you want plus an outstanding talk and standby time.

I used to have a Nokia 5210 when I was working on sites, tough as old boots but obsolete now, and no cam.

I saw these though, JCB

I have a Sonim XP1 (the original JCB phone) having worked in busy kitchens and muddy hobbies I haven't as yet managed to kill it (and believe me I've tried)

played footbal with battered and deep fried it and it still goes on. not too sure about the latest ones but if the XP1 is anything to go by! at least it won't be the same as everyone else!!

This is the one I have my eye on. This is the XP2.10

Ohh, the first thing I did was get extra batteries (it's only because I like to be fuly prepared) sure they don't do it in yellow?

Wouldn't match my car in yellow

Got a Samsung B2100.....................in red....................works at -25C no problems and is pretty robust decent IP rating and to a "Military" spec and stood up to 3-4yrs of ice-climbing, skiing etc..

Sonims................abit expensive and abit of a "name" the other "brands" are making very good phones......defo check out Samsung "solid" range!
