Is This The World’s Toughest Mobile?

S1 Land Rover

The S1 Land Rover mobile phone is being sold with the tagline: ‘The first mobile phone rugged enough to be called a Land Rover.’

This new handset can be used in extreme temperatures and should work in -20C conditions to a sweltering 60C. It can even survive short bursts of 100C heat.

So does that make it the worlds toughest mobile?

While it isn’t the most streamlined of phones, the S1 Land Rover does come with a 2MP waterproof camera with flash, built in GPS, torch light, FM radio and WAP browser.

It also has an extra-long battery life with over 1,500 hours of standby time and 18 hours of talk time – useful in case you get lost in the jungle. There are extra-loud speakers for use in extremely noisy environments.

Lindsay Weaver from Land Rover said: ‘Like our vehicles this phone is extremely capable and will work in the toughest of environments.’

And should the unthinkable happen and it does break down, the phone comes with a three-year unconditional guarantee.
