If you are really hard on cell phones, you might consider one that's basically indestructible, the i-mate. While not the most attractive smartphone I've seen, it's probably the most durable. This GSM unlocked cell phone runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and will run you about $700. That is a lot, but it does come with a lifetime warranty. If you can destroy it, they'll replace it. The i-mate can really stand up to the elements. So much so I saw a video of it being run over by a car and it still worked. At the show, the cell phone was immersed in a bowl of water and worked just fine. Don't believe us? Check out the picture below.

There are other phones in the market that are shock-proof as well, but the water-proof feature is amazing. I wish iPhone was this durable too.
