Sonim's all-weather phone can probably outlast you

How tough can a mobile phone be? Tougher than you if Sonim has anything to say about it. The maker which has brought us the "world's toughest phone"--the XP1--has introduced an even more rugged handset--the XP3. Besides being able to withstand more physical abuse, the XP3 can be fully submerged into a depth of 1m for up to 30 minutes. I can hold my breath underwater for about a minute plus, so I'm convinced that the XP3 will still be working even after I've drowned. The Sonim XP3 is currently available online for about US$640. It also comes with a three-year unconditional warranty and if your XP3 breaks down within this period (unlikely), Sonim will provide you with a replacement.
