A quick bit of back story: Two of the MSPs at the bootcamp gave a presentation where they stated that their old, reliable phones were superior to modern smartphones because they were nearly indestructible. To prove this point, they then proceeded to throw their phones at the ground (which promptly smashed (although were later fixed)).
This is just a quick post to prove those two MSPs wrong.
Engadget has an article on the Nautiz X5: A phone that can survive being trapped in a pressurised, dust filled chamber, dropped from 1.8m and sprayed with a garden hose (IPX6 Dust and IPX5 Water Rating). That said, you don’t have to compromise on any performance either; the Nautiz X5 is running Windows Mobile 6.1 (yay!) on an 806Mhz processor with 512Mb of flash and 256Mb of RAM along with all connectivity you’ve come to expect from a WinMo phone (Bluetooth, Wifi b\g, HSDPA, IrDA and GPS). To top it off, the phone also has a full VGA touch screen, a MicroSD card slot, 3MP camera, a 4400mAh battery and a barcode scanner (with optional 2D imager!).
So there you are: You can have all the features of a modern WinMo phone, while still being able to throw it at people.

To be fair they also raised the point that their phones were cheap and they didn’t care if they got lost, stolen or broken anyway.
with this phone you still have to worry about losing your $1000 phone.
that is an impressive phone none the less though, fast processor and will survive better then you falling out of a plane.
