JCB Tough Phone
The basics
JCB Toughphone which is manufactured by Sonim Technologies is a mobile phone that is known to be 'harder than the average phone.' It comes in contrasting yellow and black chunky design and has undergone the toughest research work that made it the 'hard as nails' phone that it is today. To be able to be certified tough, it had to pass IP52 specifications, and it did. One of its main features is the PTT support.

This may be a different model to the Sonim XP which I briefly owned. It was a terrible phone "sounds like you're phoning from the moon" was one comment. (I got my money back) Build quality was IMHO inferior to the Samsung Solid M110 which I have used for years but my window is cracked. It NEEDS to be polycarbonate. As I have really been given the runaround on the window I have bought a sheet of 2mm thick Lexan but have not yet got around to it! How can they expect to get repeat customers when replacement windows aren't available?

I've owned one of these (the JCB version) for a while now and I really suggest you AVOID the JCB toughphone at all costs. The XP1 has a number of stupid usability engineering issues... For instance you need to unlock the keyboard to see the time because the 'press * to unlock' message obscures the clock! STUPID... We've tried a few of these phones on various bluetooth handfree systems and found that gaining a proper working connection is intermittent... You SEEM to be connected until you make or receive a call to discover you have NO audio connection! Audio quality generally is dire... Menu system illogical... As for the guarantee... I emailed Dataselect who distribute the phone about these issues several times and got ignored! When I finally DID corner their marketing director by embarassing him into a response I got abuse and a general abdication or responsibility... ...Just don't do business with these people! Life's too short!
