S1 phone from Land Rover: one though son of a…
July 15th, 2009 | Published in Mobile Devices
Probably the toughest phone around, the S1 from Land rover. If Lara Croft, Rambo or Indiana Jones had a phone this would be it.
Leveraging from Land Rover’s brand values, the S1 promise to deliver the same experience. The perfect companion for those with an adventurous spirit. If you ever drove a Defender through the jungle, climbed a mountain with your bear hands or went to the Antarctica, you’ll know what I am talking about…. Yeah right!
What makes it tough
Fully submersible to up to 1 meter for 30 mins, water or mud is not going to ruin your phone. It also withstands temperatures between -20C to +60C and can be dropped from a height of up to 2 meters onto concrete and survive. The antiglare and shock resistant screen is petroleum, oil and crush puncture resistant.
OK, cool. What’s inside?…
You got a GPS, built in FM radio, 2GB expandable memory and of course the standard function of any regular mobile phone.
While the technology inside the phone is far from impressive, I still think is a better idea to leave your iPhone at home and bring this 350 euros phone on your next expedition to the remote places of earth.
