So i slowly eased into the Century Plaza Westin Hotel and Spa pool... I swam 2 laps the legnth of the pool and soaked in the warm sun rays cutting across the MGM building. errrrrrrrtttkkkkkkk

SH1T... MY PHONE IS IN MY SHORTS

Well it doesnt work for crap.

Anyone have any idea what I should do for a new one, I am sure Cingular wants a fortune for a new one, and my phone and its service is only 7 months old. It was a Sony, which I liked a bunch. I guess it is time to look what is out there.

Razrs are still over priced.
S710 looks cool, but is pricey as well.

Anyone want to sell an old Cingular or Unlocked GSM phone?

haha its ok...i had a friend who dropped his phone in the toilet.I left my phone in my pants, and sent it through the wash. Haha, it still worked.

However, after the second time, I needed to claim insurance on it.
(And yes, the first is an honest mistake, don't beat yourself up for it. If you repeat it like I did, then you're retarded.)

go talk to cingular, sometimes you'll run across some cool people who will give you another one. I bought my phone from costco. I can launch it out of a canon and go get another one with their return policy.

Between me and my friends I think that I have "fixed" like 15 phones with water damage. You can probably get some electronics cleaner and rinse it, let it dry, recharge the battery and it should work. I haven't had one yet that did not work again.

my dad has dropped his phone numerous times in the toilet, he has swam with it he has dropped it in the ocean, the lake and he is the worst in my opinion a glass of beer.

He likes his phone so much when they discontinuied it he bought all the ones he could find in the company. I think that was about 2 years ago, and he cought like 15 of them, well I think he is down to like 5. He also left them on the roof of the car and drove away, dropped them getting into the car and backing up over them. He just is not good with little things.

He's still under contract so he can't do that. The best bet is eBay or craiglist.
