so im convinced my curve is a tank

recently, it took a dive into a deep hole filled with muddy water.

tossed it aside, having lost all hope.

then a few days later, got curious, put a battery in it, and it worked! all the buttons and EVERYTHING!

i was amazed.

just had to share.

I hear that. I dove into our pool and swim around for about 2-3 minutes before I realized my pearl was in my pocket. I jumped out of the pool, dried off, and started to see what kind of damage was done...............but there was none.

Everything worked perfectl. I don't know how much luck was involved but the only thing I had to do was re-format my memory card. Def. do not want to try it again..lol

These blackberries are tougher than we think...they can take almost anything we through at...a friend lost his in snow and it got plowed over, he found it and it worked...~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

Lets see someone submerge an IPhoney in water for 2 minutes and see if it still works.

Right there with ya'll. Walked in a lake retrieving my boat and freaked when I relized I went in with my 8310. Immediately took the battery out and went fishing. When I got done fishing I proceded to find a torx screwdriver so I could completely dismantle. Did that and let it sit another couple of hours. after about 6-8 hours of drying I put the battery back in and it hasn't skipped a beat since.
