Sonim XP3, any input.

Hi.

My activities in both work and hobbies require a rugged cell phone.

I've been using anything from SE R250 to the newer Nokia impact resistant offerings which don't really fit the requirements.

My GF wants to buy me a phone and she came up with Sonim XP3 as one of the possibilities.

Does anyone here have any experience about XP3 specifically or about the Sonim as a brand?

Any other suggestions? I don't need a camera, but a flashlight is a must.

Regards
Sam

Buy an old Nokia. Like the 7250i. Indestructable. Not got a flashlight, but you could have a separate one.

Hi.

She want's me to have a new cellphone for a change

.

My friends who have used the 7250i, don't speak too highly about it.

I've been pretty happy with the 5140i (with a flashlight

) but eventually ran out of spares after 4th or so rebuild.

The "no flashlight" is a dealbreaker, anyone who has really used one will understand.
