I work for a large cellphone company in sales, and there's about a 50/50 split of "i washed this phone and it still works" versus "this phone got rained on and now it won't turn back on". Personally my only experience was washing a Sansa mp3 player in the pocket of my pants and it actually still worked perfectly fine afterwards, though the battery was donezo about 4-5 months later. Still a cool video. It's amazing how electronics can survive in water sometimes.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 27th 2009 10:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPhone 3GS takes plunge in pool while shooting video... and lives to tell the tale]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/27/iphone-3gs-takes-plunge-in-pool-while-shooting-video-and-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/27/iphone-3gs-takes-plunge-in-pool-while-shooting-video-and-live/</guid><description><![CDATA[A bottle of cough syrup opened up in my bag once, submersing my sansa in it, it went in all in the screen, the back, everywhere, and it still worked; completely loaded up on cough syrup. the screen was just a little red ;)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 28th 2009 8:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPhone 3GS takes plunge in pool while shooting video... and lives to tell the tale]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/27/iphone-3gs-takes-plunge-in-pool-while-shooting-video-and-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/27/iphone-3gs-takes-plunge-in-pool-while-shooting-video-and-live/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just took my iPhones (2 of them) through being capsized in a lake, twice, from a canoe. Only protection they had were two zipplocked plastic bags. First time no water got in, second time the first bag filled and the second bag leaked some in and were below water for a few minutes. <br><br>I believe the video. <br><br>And on the guys YouTube video he says the phone is still working and the strap you see in a shadow is a wrist strap he added to a rubber case he had on the phone.
