I know, we focus mainly on the big four wireless carriers here in the US, but once in a while, far smaller carriers like C Spire come up with a handset that is not available elsewhere – case in point, the Sonim XP 3400 Armor ultra-rugged handset that targets those who live a rough and tumble lifestyle, or are generally working in a particularly hazardous situation that needs a phone which is able to keep up with the times. The Sonim XP 3400 Armor fits the bill perfectly, where it was specially engineered to exceed military-grade specifications for toughness, and is totally dust-proof, water submersible up to to 6.5 feet for an hour, and has been drop tested up to 6.5 feet onto concrete. The screen just won’t give way at that height or less, thanks to a 1.5mm thick scratch and shock resistant Corning Gorilla glass lens.
Other hardware specifications include a microSD memory card slot, an integrated FM radio, an LED flashlight, a 2-megapixel camera, an omni-directional, noise cancelling microphone, a water-resistant speaker, a 2″ high-resolution display, all crammed into a combo of hardened rubber molded into a reinforced fiberglass case. Heck, just to get a better idea on how hardy it is, it has also been certified against salt, fog, humidity, transport shock, thermal shock and operates in temperatures ranging from -5° F to 130° F. How much would you need to fork out for the Sonim XP 3400 Armor? We are looking at $49.99 after a $50 reward card rebate, in addition to a new 2-year customer agreement. [Press Release]
