Waterproof cell phone takes calls underwater

SO902iWP+

You know what sucks? Spending a ton of cash on a tricked-out cell phone only to have your new toy crippled by an unexpected coffee spill. Should you be somewhat accident-prone around liquids, Sony Ericsson's SO902iWP+ cell phone will endure spills, splashes — even total immersion in water — and still keep right on ticking (and snapping 1.3-megapixel pictures!). Yes, your dream of taking your cell phone swimming has finally been realized. Just think of the potential accessories: rubber lanyard/antenna combos, Bluetooth snorkels, and whale-song ringtones. And hey, if you ever want to clean the phone, just spray it down with a little Fantastik. Nice. Looks like this mobile is available only in Japan, but we'll keep our eyes out for the amphibious technology making a beachhead on U.S. shores.
