It’s tough at the top.

The need for durable phones that will last and withstand the knocks of a working day is a key issue for many. However, following the demise of the Nokia 5140i there has been a gap in this particular area. The great news is that there are now a choice of two new phones. We look at the latest models on the market, the JCB Tough Phone and the Samsung M110 Solid.

The world’s most renowned and respected heavy equipment producers, JCB, carry a strong tradition for robust products and their new Tough Phone looks to be no exception. Specifically designed to combat whatever you throw at it, the JCB Tough Phone is shock resistant, dust resistant, water resistant, and drop resistant. In fact, the manufacturers are so confident that the phone will deliver they are offering a three year, no quibble guarantee. Boasting a glare and scratch resistant screen along with dual speakers for working in high noise environments, this resilient unit, makes an ideal choice for those who battle against the constant issue of replacing their mobile phone due to the nature of their job.

Should the colouring of the JCB phone not be for you or you require a camera then the Samsung M110 Solid may be the answer. Whilst offering similar features to the Tough Phone, such as a dustproof and splashproof ruggerdised casing, this lighter phone from the popular and trusted manufacturer, Samsung, also possesses a VGA camera and is available in a neutral black. With the addition of a flashlight and SOS messaging this handset is well placed as an alternative to the JCB offering.
