"The Ultimate In Non-Breakable Mobiles"

Gizmodo's Australian edition has included Sonim's rugged XP1 in its holiday gift guide.

Snipped from the article:

Remember Sonim's XP1; the indestructible phone we were planning to destroy? You know the one. We even asked for your tips on destruction. Well, while parenting duties have stopped us from giving the phone a good whack, literally, that doesn't mean countless others haven't tried and failed miserably in their quest to disprove the phones claim to indestructible-fame. Which is why this little beauty, has popped up on this year's Christmas Gift Guide.

Engineered for sports enthusiasts and those who work in harsh environments, the military-spec, Bluetooth and Push-to-talk enabled XP1 is shockproof, waterproof, dustproof, extreme temperature-proof and, considering the 3-year unconditional warranty, moron-proof. The device is not exactly pretty, but it is something to consider for any adrenaline junkie, drunk, klutz, brickie or astronaut on the lookout for the ultimate in non-breakable mobiles, this Christmas. Available at Crazy Johns for $549 outright.

Also on the list, the Acer Predator high-end gaming PC, iPod Nanos, The BlackBerry Storm, a home automation kit ... lots of good suggestions if you've just hit the panic button after realizing that there's less than a week of holiday shopping time left.
