A couple nights ago, my friend unintentionally stumbled onto what might make a great advertising campaign for Samsung. He left his cell phone in his shorts pocket while doing his laundry.
Not daring to hope, he poured the thing out and sat it down next to a hair dryer for an hour or so. After a false start, he called tech support, who downloaded some kind of software patch to his phone, and this morning he was back to making and receiving calls like nothing had happened. Well, there's still a little condensation you can see on the inside of his screen, but other than that -- perfect.
That's one hell of a software patch, I must say.
Now if they could just get the phone to adminster an electric shock any time it rings in a theater, it might be just about perfect.

By the way, I've seen their wireless broadband in "action," and it suuuuuuuuuucks.
Amazing. LWC accidentally did the same thing, and we found out we were glad we had purchased the extended warranty, for once. That phone was dead.
I also had a friend who washed his phone. He didn't have such positive results.
WHat programme did he have it on? Boy, you do leave out the crucial details.
Holly killed hers by dropping it in the toilet. Other versions of Clorox appear to be less kind.
Any idea what type of Samsung Verizon phone your friend has? I have one - and it would be great to know if they could do that to my phone (if I should ever be so stupid)?
