Default Went swimming with Iphone in pocket

Took my 2 yr old for a swim at some friends house and forgot about having my phone on me. Felt something hit my leg and thought about it after about 10-15 mins in. Pulled it out and stood it up to drain, got home a little while later (bout 3pm) and put it in a bag of rice to dry out and been there since.



Just thinking ive been wanting a new phone for a while now and i have been wanting a Galaxy S (2 maybe wait for 3). I dont mind the iOS of the iphone and the 4S is tempting also.



So let me hear it fellas 4S or S2/S3

I have the Galaxy S2 and love it. Screen is amazing, good battery life and very fast. I rooted mine and put ICS on it and never looked back

I love my iPhone 4s! Posting this message with it. Battery life is great. I made a pretty big technology jump from my last phone. I had an old Nextel i730 that lasted forever. But I couldn't text or do anything but make and take calls. It finally died about 4 months ago when it took a bath in some transmission fluid on a Trans swap I was doing on my truck.

It will probably work again, but may need a battery. Its just something about when they get wet there just not the same anymore.

I think after reading tons of reviews i may just get a 4S with LifeCase, if i dont like it my wife is needing a new phone also so it wont go to waste.

Good thread, sorry bout your luck though.

Im going to finally get a smart phone this month also, gonna do the 4s for me and regular 4 for the wife.

Tell me more about this " Life case", i need a rugged waterproof type of case for my work conditions.

I heard the otter box was good also?

Life case is nice. Waterproof and not like a brick. They are expensive though.

in my opinion the otterbox is junk.... its bulky and seems sticky to the touch, its also not water proof, dust proof, and all other the lifecase is!!
yea the lifecase is kind of expensive, but it seems worth it.

I will know here in a few hours when mine arrives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guy I work with has one. I just have a case mate slim brushed stainless. I like my case because I hate bulky cases. The otter boxes are huge and like Regency mentioned kinda sticky or something.
