Oct 7, 2008, 9:05 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Several rural carriers will be making the rugged Sonim XP3 phone available in the U.S. in early 2009. The XP3 is fully ruggedized to withstand abuse. It can stand 6-ft falls onto concrete, it is waterproof and it is resistant to dust and other particles. It has 2.5 days of talktime and 2 months of standby time. It will have quad-band GSM/EDGE radios, GPS, and Bluetooth. It has a 3 megapixel camera, but no video recording and no media player. Pricing details were not provided, nor were the identities of the U.S. carriers to offer the XP3 made known.

Comments
