Living with the JCB tough Phone

The phone is a pretty basic model, lacking a camera and some of the more snazzy features of a top end phone. However coming in at around £100 with a three year, no quibble, manufacturers warranty it will probably out last any handset you currently have.

The ringer volume has a good range from silent to deafening and will be heard above even the most vocal series diesel engine. The built in speaker volume makes telephone conversations in a noisy environment a breeze and you will not struggle to hear the person on the other end.

The screen is scratch resistant and seems to fair well in a harsh environment remaining clear and bright. The screen is a lot smaller than some handsets but this does not seem to cause any problems. There is no camera which may be a problem for some, but ultimately there is one less thing to break.

The Battery life is exceptional, and will easily last three or four days on standby by without a charge. Manufacturers quoted battery life is often misleading, however the JCB Toughphone is a sure performer.

I guess to finish off, if you want a phone to use in harsh work/play environments and are not bothered by all the fancy features of the high end models this is the phone for you.

This is the same phone as the Land Rover phone that is coming out... Just with a different badge and colour scheme
