Due to be launched in the UK by the year end ...
"Conforming to IP67 standards, the phone promises to be scratch, water and dust resistant. What's more, it's equipped with a 3.7-inch touchscreen display and a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash."

"number 6 in the IP code which refers to the highest level of protection against "foreign objects", meaning that no dust or sand whatsoever can get into the phone."

"The 7 in the Defy's IP code means that, although the phone doesn't have the highest protection against water getting in (that would be a rating of 8), it can withstand short-term immersion of up to 1m"

now if only they marry this with this bendable oled screen by samsung :T http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8S8tbQMp2k and make the phone more water proof to IP8 level then that would be my ideal smartphone.

just a matter of time before all other manufacturers go down the sturdy smartphone route:T
