Pay no attention to the title of the video above -- the XP3 wasn't destroyed. Not quite sure why the video title states otherwise, but this clip was too cool to keep to ourseleves.
The real deal, as Gaj-it Lab reports:
"At The Gadget Show Live ... there were several work benches set up around the Sonim stand with hammers on them so that the passing public could physically hit the phones to check out their indestructible qualities.
Little did we know that while we were recording, a passer by had a go bashing the hammer and seemingly broke the phone.
Sonim’s claims that their phones are “indestructible” ring true as in the video it first looks like the man has actually been able to break the phone and let me tell you, those hammers were very real hammers capable of breaking most things.
However, apart from a crack in the screen and the temporary cut-off, the phone is still in working condition and he even phones me to check! So if you're on the look out for an indestructible mobile phone i.e. if your working in a very heavy labor job then i’d say get your hands on one of these, because they are as close to indestructible as phones can possibly be."

Hi Munjal, Sorry if the title is misleading but after reading the post/watching the video all is revealed.
Its the toughest phone indeed.
