Reader input required: how would you test a ruggedised handset?

So the other day I hit upon a great idea – I’m an outdoorsy kinda guy, I like my mobile gadgets, and I always shed a small electronic tear when one of them gets damaged. So rather than weep, I figured I should turn that frown upside down and test out some devices that just might come out on the good side of a harsh physical test….

But lo, what devices would I choose? Well I got out the interweb lasso, and chased down the Nokia 5140 (Old skool but cool), the Samsung Solid (new boy, but not a toy), and the JCB Toughphone (The world’s ruffest and tuffest – apparently).

Now, down to the reader input part – I want your ideas on the best real-world tests to expose these candybar hard-nuts to. Over the course of the new few weeks, the best ideas will get filmed, and we’ll see how these ninja-tuff handsets do against the perils you come up with!

So get commenting, and let us know what you’d like to see

[Note: keep it sensible folks, any tests that will be either offensive to people, animals, or delicate inanimate objects won’t make it through – the idea is to give these devices a thorough test in the ‘everyday environment’]
