I'm fed up with my phone, out of all the phones I have ever had I have only lost/had stollen and broken one model. Wouldnt be bad if this happened once, but its happend 4 times to the same phone.
1st - nicked at a gig on day of purchase
2nd - lost on a night out
3rd - droped froma height
4th - got water damaged in a water proof bag (on the boat) today whilst diving.
I think its time for me to buy another new phone as I never had these kind of problems before.
I will try to fix the this one and have disembled and and cleaned off most of the salt water. If I get it working il have it replaced under warrenty.
now I need a new phone... anyone got any suggestions?

err, dont drop it?
Keep it tight in your pocked instead of your bag?

im guessing your current phone is P990?
anyway what kind of spec do you need in a new phone, does it hae to be smartphone etc?
and then we can try to find a durable phone which suits your needs

in my pocket rather then my bag ey....
1: was nicked from my pocket
2: was in my pocket in a night out
3: well that obviously want in my pocket or my bag
4: I think the last thing you would want to do it stick a phone ina wetsuit and dive with it, a water proof bag is much safer
unforchantly it was not a p990i I have been using k810i's for this little run... not a cheap phone to do this to 4 times in a row.
With features I want
a nice ui
smallish design, but dont mind anything up to n73 size
candy bar
decent camera

thats abit of badluck when you get your next don't go messing with anycodes of the net next like I did
btw my ex-D600 survived after drowning in the hot bath lol
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
lol i like playing with the online codes thou, opens up a whole new world of ways to f**k with your phone
I got the phone working but the 4, 6, 0 and left direction key dont work, and its been fully dried out and brushed with a fiber glass pen, and even re-manufactured the screen due to severe salt water damage. So guna need something else (atleast I can make basic calls ill I get back to the uk I spose)
thanks for the phone suggestions, but none of them are any good to me, other then the n95 I supose. Prob just get me a blackbury or something

@luke - If it's still worth doin' it . . . try bringing your FONE to a nearby parish priest/church . . . and have it blessed usin' a holy water . . . to drive away BAD demons/omens !
