World’s Toughest Phone
(4 votes, rated: 5.00 out of 5)
It is not going to win any beauty contests but the JCB Toughphone has been named the world’s toughest mobile phone. I have to replace my phone almost monthly so this is the most useful product I have seen in a long while.
Guinness World Records have confirmed the title after seeing the phone put through its paces. Earlier this year it was dropped from a height of 10 feet, sprayed with water from a high velocity jet and even placed in a cement mixer.
Guinness World Records then examined the handset and said only superficial cosmetic damage would be tolerated, even a small crack in the screen would have jeopardised the record attempt. Unlike my phone – which seems to shatter into 27 different pieces if I even look at it in the wrong way – the JCB Toughphone passed the tests.
Makers say the mobile can operate at temperatures from -20c to +60c and be dropped, shocked, splashed and covered in dust, all without missing a call. A spokesperson for JCB said: “The market has been demanding a no-nonsense mobile that can handle the knocks of an active lifestyle as well as dealing with the rigors of life on a building site.”
