Looking for the toughest waterproof phone.

I am looking for a phone that can take a lot of bumps and can handle being subjected to running water for short periods of time, reliability is important as well. Small is a plus but do not need many features.

Only electronic feature that would be an absolute requirement would be voice mail and of course making and receiving call. The other requirement are all physical.
 
I looked at the Nokia 5140 and the Siemens M75. Ended getting the M75. Has outstanding voice quality, decent size/weight, good battery life. Only con so far seems to be smallish keys.

Siemens has left the North America market, so you may have to buy online for it. The Nokia 5140 wasn't/isn't sold in Canada, so again online if you are in Canada.
 
We actually need tougher than that.

I am hoping some one has one that is fully potted. Shock isolated, armored and able to go into running water for 5 or ten minutes at a time.
 
I am trying to find information on the i325. A lot of milspec stuff still falls short, some of us use 300.00 flashlights to get the ruggedness we want.

Is the i325 fully immersable?
 
"Certified to Military Standard 810 F for blowing rain, humidity, and salt fog. Designed to withstand exposure to rain, sleet, and snow. Rubber encasing, interior linings and seals protect the phone?s antenna, speakerphone, keys, battery door, and accessory connections against water intrusion."

It's not fully immersable, only what it states above.
