Sonim Technologies is no stranger when it comes to rugged handsets – the company has already released some pretty hardy phones in the past, and this time round they have lined up a couple more models for a mid-2009 release. The newest additions will be known as the Land Rover S1 and the Land Rover S2 G4, and both will come with a protective case made from XENOY, best described as “a revolutionary post-consumer plastic derived mostly from used plastic bottles and film.” Needless to say, the new Land Rover range will stay true to its predecessors’ roots, boasting water resistance as well as the ability to function in the harshest of environments, including 1.6 meter drops to concrete. There is no word on pricing as at press time, but do expect to fork out more than normal when they’re available.
