Wow!

I hope we get them at AT&T, they would be fantastic for people who work in construction and other fields where cellular phones are at great risk for damage, etc.

Info about Land Rover LRS1 Sonim Phone

Hi, i'm bob plaschke, the CEO of Sonim and wanted to add my two cents to the discussion. while the phone looks similar to the sonim xp3.10 we launched in Europe, the Landrover phone is really different. Hardware wise, it has the best AGPS available in the market, a camera and an accelerometer. As importantly it will have a suite of location based applications unique to LandRover. We'll announce more soon, but just wanted to clear this up. email me at bobplaschke@sonimtech.com if i can answer any questions
Hello Mr. Plaschke,

I have a question for you. Will the Sonim have the GSM 850 band, since we use the 850/1900 GSM bands in North America? Thanks!

Any one know the price of this phone? My son will be deploying to a far off sandy place next year and this would be much better for him to take than his iPhone.

I don't know why, but...

It kind of looks like a phone the Predator would use. All spikey and stuff. I wouldn't be surprised to see this thing exploding through my vital organs someday. Well okay, a little surprised.

Just what the soccer moms need?

Just what the "yuppies" and soccer moms need on the way to the mall. A phone for the amazon rain forest? or war?

hahahahhahahahahahahahahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Obviously it's not marketed to "soccer moms" but I think it is a great idea to have a phone like this. I have worked for multiple GSM carriers and none ever had a real rugged phone like CDMA carriers like Sprint carry. I think this is great for worker...

This would be the phone to be able to throw at a wall and still be able to call your support group! 😳
