Bombproof gadgets: Our most trusty technology

Nokia 5210
The Nokia 5210 wasn't a smart phone, it didn't have a camera, it didn't even have a colour screen -- but this was one tough mother of a mobile. With a rubberised case, this drop-proof phone could take a real beating.

Many people wrongly assumed the 5210 was waterproof and subsequently dropped it into pints of beer to show it off to their friends, only to pull it back out and the screen didn't turn on. Bombproof, sure, but not beerproof. -Andrew Lim
