    Samsung UA55C9000 3D LCD TV

    At $10,000, the Samsung UA55C9000 costs more than twice what an otherwise similarly specified, similarly sized, Samsung TV would sell for. So what’s so special about it? We reckon that several of the more extraordinary features justify that price.

Sonim XP1 mobile phone - withstand shock, water, wind, dust, dirt and extreme temperatures

product

Built for action, the Sonim XP1 is designed to withstand shock, water, wind, dust, dirt and extreme temperatures and is the only certified phone engineered specifically to meet the needs of mobile phone users who work and play in demanding conditions.

Crazy John's has brought the Sonim XP1 to Australia to fill a gap in the market, by delivering a rugged phone to meet Australia's outdoor culture. The GSM phone features IP-54 certification, military-spec approval, bluetooth and is Push-To-Talk enabled.

“If you're standing on a construction site with a welding tool in your hand, or hiking in the great outdoors, you really don't need a fashion accessory or multimedia device," explains Head of Marketing for Crazy John's, Matt Scriven.
“You need a dependable working tool like the new XP1 which has been built for extreme conditions."

Research conducted by XP1 manufacturer, Sonim Technologies indicates that 70 per cent of outdoor workers refrain from using their phones in the workplace because the phone might break. A further 40 per cent of people have broken their mobile phone in the last year, with most common reasons including damage from humidity, dropping and crushing the phone.

“The Sonim XP1 is the only phone in the world engineered for people who work and play outside; people in need of an unbreakable phone. After victorious launches across Europe, it's time to show Australia how tough this phones really is," said Bob Plaschke, CEO of Sonim Technologies.

“The Sonim XP1 has been shot with a Glock 9mm and a Remington rifle. This phone has been put in the oven, strapped to a rocket, used as a hockey puck, used as a hammer, kicked like a football, dragged behind a boat, driven over by multi-ton trucks, and still it survives. We challenge anyone to try and break it!"

As well as being shock and water-resistant, the Sonim XP1 is backed by an unconditional three year warranty.
“Should you find an extreme condition that takes the XP1 beyond its limits, just take it back to any Crazy John's store for a 'no questions asked' replacement," added Matt Scriven.

Price and availability

The Sonim XP1 is available at Crazy John's for FREE on the $49 Crazy Cap with $310 credit included each month, or outright for $549.
