Land Rover S1 Phone Tested By Elephants: It Really Is The Strongest

This is why the Sonim/Land Rover S1 phone is the toughest phone yet: it can stand an elephant stomp, being run over an actual Land Rover and being tossed out of a second floor window. Plus…

…it was dunked in mud, put inside a 300 degree oven, and soaked in beer. What finally did it in is being crushed by a three ton forklift, which is pretty above and beyond the duty of any phone we’d normally use.

As for the specs, it has 1500 hours of battery (standby or talk, we’re not sure) and a 2-megapixel camera. And, most notably, it has an “extra loud” ringtone so you can hear it under elephants. [Telegraph via Slashdot]

    2 months standby? Me thinks not. Although you’d need it waiting for an elephant to dial the correct number.

    @kif Thanks for the image.
    Telecommuting elephants may be the next logical step for the callcentre industry. :-)
