My Nokia 3310 survived the cloth washer twice. Fifteen years ago.
It's battery also lasted for several weeks.
This line of reasoning is amusingly similar to NIH-syndrome.
- agumonkey 10y agoIsn't that just luck ? more space between case and electronics, less sensitive components ? I was about to say the board was probably empty, but turns out it's not that simple http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-shGknjKjPWE/TzJGOwQLVcI/AAAAAAAAAEw/HImwHqMHg6I/s1600/NOKIA+3310-1.JPG http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-shGknjKjPWE/TzJGOwQLVcI/AAAAAAAAAE... Old phones weren't really resistant; but less sensitive. My Samsung Wave 723 took a plunge once, water got inside but almost didn't harm it (almost; something SMTc wasn't properly functioning after 1h of use). Kinda like ThinkPads, they can leak water outside a bit, but they're not water tight sealed.
