Pat’s Point of View

This morning I found a fatal flaw in the design of my mobile phone, it doesn’t like being submerged in a glass of water. Being the bumbling idiot I am in the morning I went to pick up the phone but dropped it into my glass of water.

Functionality was…how do I say?…hampered. It did float, however, which was good to know. The screen kinda went blank instantly, and the camera flash went off upon contact with the water. And the water tasted kinda funny afterwards. Not quite sure why I decided to drink it.

So I was off to Crazy John’s where I learnt my phone was indeed "shagged" and that the warranty will not cover "fluid ingress". Fortunately I hadn’t paid for phone insurance because that doesn’t cover water damage either. Hmmm, it’s not like water is a rare thing on this planet is it?

So anyway I’m now the proud owner of a new Nokia 6233, which has a 2 megapixel camera so I’m back where I was with my N90. More impromptu photos!
