Cell phones forum: I need a tough cell phone!

my freind has the perfect thing....its a phone carried by verizon, not sure what it's called. But us guys nicknamed it "the sherman tank" because you can literally chuck it into the hard cement floor and it won't break. It's waterproof and shock-resistant. You can even use it underwater (We tried it and it worked). A fine cell phone...if you're intrested mssg me and ill try and get the name of it.

if you looking fore a tough cell phone try to find a NOKIA 6250.
its a old model but stonger then any other phone i know.
I have one already for 10 years and it was ol over the world with me.
It wa sin water, fell from a rock (25 mtr) down and it is stil working.
If you want a real outdoor phone the NOKIA 6250 is the best.....

Good luck,

Not sure if there is any gsm rugged (also know as military spec phones out there) but Nextel still makes several. The most rugged it the i355 (you can drop it on concrete off a 20 foot ladder and will not break! Perfect for industrious environments. If you want something a little less 'sherman tanky" then the i335 or i570 will do.. see cnets review of the i335

You might look into A Sonim Cell phone---there GSM and tough--
Look them up on the Internet

How about the JCB phone from the UK? See http://jcbmobile.com/. It is triband and should work in the USA. Many cell phone shops in the UK stock it.

Were you ever able to find a good tough phone? Im in the market and need some assitance.

thanks

The world's toughest phone is the Sonim XP1. They now also have a fully submersible model the XP3.

I wanted to echo LilyEricsson.
The Sonim is a very nice rugged phone. Physically I like it better than the "Casio GzOne Ravine from Verizon" but it doesn't have WiFi and the menu is a bit clunky. I am considering using this as my emergency bug out phone.

It's one of many tough phones out there.
