Details here:
https://www.airowireless.com/a25/

Basically, it’s a rugged GPS smart-phone (as you might have worked out from the thread; so should be good for general bike use, possibly even off-road use too.

Had a quick look around and could only find it on Sim Free, starting at a bit over £400, but presumably there will be some contract deals at some point.

Looks interesting.

Also check out the sonyericsson c702. Only splash and dust resistant, but better than a normal phone and free on contract.

Looks good! Having just taken out a two year contract for my Nokia E90, however, I think I'll just buy myself a Ram Mount aquabox Laughing.

Hi

I will be after another phone in a few months. That could be tempting although I have got used to a slide out qwerty keyboard.

All the best

I can achieve that with some cling film and sellotape.

I'm not sure if it mentions baked beans specifically on their specs - maybe best to check up on that first Razz.

If I checked up on stuff, there'd never be any problems. Anyway, the beans didn't cause a problem. Razz

Toughphones are a waste of time, although the JCB phone's not all too bad, feels strange going back to a none toughphone and having to dry your phone when out in the rain, watching where you put it, being delicate, leaving it at home and the rest!

Not zipping up my pocket and having the phone fall out at 120+mph done a good enough job on blitzing the JCB. Twisted Evil (Pictures available upon request)
