The Sonim XP1 can definitely survive a lot of abuse, there's no denying that - any phone that can shrug off being run over by a car is tough by anyone's standards! Unfortunately the XP1 didn't turn out to be quite as rugged as I thought it would be - it really didn't like getting wet, which is something of an issue for a rugged device. I can only hope that my review sample was faulty, and I'll be giving Sonim the chance to supply me with a second unit to find out. But in the meantime, if you need a phone that can take a real pounding and a good dousing, I can't really recommend the XP1. Update: After a couple of days drying out, it appears that the Sonim XP1 is now functioning perfectly. Nevertheless, a second unit is being shipped to TR for more testing, so watch this space for further updates.

"this isn't the sort of phone that you'll be travelling abroad with too often"

Why wouldn't this be a good phone for traveling?
