any such thing as a water/weather proof cell phone?
 

I have a cell phone but don't use it much unless the wife needs to get
ahold of me etc. Last year she wanted me to take her new cell when I
went for a last hoorah on the boat. I wen't by myself. OK, so with
lack of better judgement I should have left it in the boat when i was
loading it at the doce, but no.... I had it in my front pocket. OK so
the loading ramp was slippery when I went to crak the boat ont he
trailer and sure enough, down on one knee I went. Wifes phone was
drenched. I pulled the battery out, and left it on the dash all the
way home to elt the sun and air conditioner attempt to dry it out.
when I got home Ip put the batter y back in and turned it on. it
worked for about 20 sec. and lights out. luckily it was insured.

OK daughter couldnt' find her cell phone sunday night and monday I
found it on the front steps and it had been rained on.
Lights out.

Is there such thing as a weather proof phone? I'm not planning on
soaking one fully again, but then.......

You never know especially when working outside in soaking clothing
damp weather.

thanks!

Please post it here if you find anything.
I would also like to know how to get Alltel to stock such a phone.
I have to buy my phones directly from them. I don't know why.

My daughter's phone got washed with a pair of jeans, we did find it
before the spin cycle! I took the battery out immediately and let it
sit for a week. It worked after a good drying.

If you are worried about dropping it in water, why not get a basic
phone and get the replacement insurance on it. It would be a lot
cheaper.

Makes sense if expense is the concern. But in certain situations,
expense isn't a consideration. Sometimes you just really need the
thing to keep working never mind the expense.

I bought a waterproof cellphone holder pouch. Was about $10. Phone will
float in it.
