Baught a Sonim XP1 Rugged phone this afternone,

turns out it dosent ring in a cup of coffee! wat a waste of £149.99
but on the plus side there sending me a £300 Sonim Quest, 1Metter Waterproff for 30mins

best outdoor mobile i'll find is the one i can leave in the car and still hear outside, i just buy the cheapest i can find as they usually meet their end in some water/crushing/dropping incident

p.s. you didn't put you phone in a cup of coffee did you???

I have a samsung b2100 http://www.samsung.com/baltic/consum...ype=prd_detail

it is the best phone I have ever had as an outdoor instructor I have dropped it from heights had it in the river loads. I run a safety course and am often in the weir with high pressure water and it's not had any problems !!! The battery life is unreal a week between charges

Could not recommend a better low spec technology phone that is as tough as nails
