A Bad Day.

Removing the battery and putting the phone in a sealed jar of rice can some times dry them out enough for at least a reboot.

If you're stupid enough :roll: to have a phone with an apple on the back you can't remove the battery....
 
Speaking as someone who has drowned a few phones in my time I can offer the following wisdoms:

An immersion of any length of time will kill it.

If you put your phone in a net for safe keeping and then use said net to land a trout, the phone will survive.

I was told if the phone is off and gets a soaking, it should be OK. If on, the chances of electrickery/water interface woes are increased exponentially!

Your average mobile will not survive composting in a runner bean trench.

Why aren't the damn thing more waterproof?

You can remove the batteries from iPhones and iPods. Just replaced the battery in my co-worker's son's Nano the other day. It's a bit more of an involved process than say a N95 or a Curve, but it's definitely doable for anyone with a bit of technical skill.
 
Cheers for the support gang. Phone's a Blackberry I got from work so will be replaced by them if it's knackered. Still trying to dry it out so we shall see. It's the messages and other info I might have lost that's gonna screw me :evil:
Car's defo an insurance job as the bloke at the garage said he thought it'd cost about £1500 to fix :evil: Been on the phone to my insurance people for over an hour this aft.... I hate phone calls.

suburbanreuben.... I think the first of the three was the woman hitting my car the other week. At least I hope so.

Mr Panda..... Have you been watching? :oops: :oops: :lol:
