378000 2005-08-05 05:50:00 Yup, its the good old construction side of things....I would go for the Nokia 5140 (www.vodafone.co.nz). One of my workmates had the one before it in the series. He used to throw it against concrete walls as a demo of how tough it was. I wouldn't trust it to be waterproof though.

Oh, and it has a removable shell so if you get paint on it, or waste it too bad, all you have to do is replace the semi rugged shell, instead of the whole phone.

378002 2005-08-05 22:35:00 I don't know what model it is but I was talking to a teenager the other day who practices shooting basketball goals with his Nokia. He often misses catching it but after it hits the concrete and explodes into a million bits he just puts them back together again and carries on using it.

I couldn't believe that the poor battered thing still worked after all that abuse. :eek:

Obviously an intelligent teenager . Some spend their time displaying their inability to spell to their contemporaries . (I'd have put that in "TXT non-language", but (1) I don't (and [b]won't) know TXT, and (2) I doubt if it handles words of more than one syllable) .

378004 2005-08-06 13:43:00 I have a Nokia 1100, dirt cheap and tough as overcooked schnitzel. I've dropped it from 1.5m to concrete/wood, as well as having it thrown into a wall. The wall came out worse off. Rugrats (6953)
