Land Rover has teamed up with Sonim Technologies and introduced a really rugged mobile phone that is engineered to withstand extreme climate conditions and terrain patterns. This should remind you of the Casio Exilim C721, yet another ruggedized phone that we recently reviewed about, but this one is a step ahead.

The Land Rover S1 is the world’s first IP-67 standard phone which means it is absolutely impregnable to dust and micro particles, one meter impervious to water for about 30 minutes and can bear turbulent pressures of up to 400kgs.

The ruggedized Land Rover Phone is also resistant to road shocks and vibrations for over 2000 random vibrations in the 500Hz range .To match with the phone’s sturdy built, the widely-spaced buttons on the keypad are also tough and have been tested to over 500,000 pushes.

That was about the form factor, but beneath its hardcore outer shell, the Land Rover Phone bears a gizmo that has surfeit functionalities to help you when you are out on an adventure or exploring the best of the unknown.

The Land Rover S1 boasts a 2MP waterproof camera with a built in flash, so you can record moments of your expeditions without worrying about the climate factor or even click a snap under water.

It is powered by an ARM-9 processor with 16MB or RAM and supports more than 20 different languages, has a built in GPS system, an Opera Mini WAP browser for internet access and much more.

The Bluetooth enabled Land Rover Phone can live comfortably in temperatures as high as 55 degrees Celcius and as low as -20degrees Celcius. An extra-loud 20mm 1 Watt speaker is implanted in the phone to alert you for calls in extremely noisy environments.

The Land Rover S1 is compatible with a wide range of car kits and is bundled with a charger, a belt and a headset as standard accessories. It has been optimized for in-vehicle use and lives up to 1100 hrs on standby mode and renders 11.5 hrs of talk time on a single battery charge.

If something with the phone should ever trouble you, feel free to claim the unconditional three-year guarantee or avail the company’s same-day replacement service.
