that just goes to show the kind of day I had yesterday. Now I have to go buy a new one. It was nice not having a phone for a change. However I was going crazy not having one. Words of advice. Never talk on the phone while washing the widows of you truck.

I've heard burying a soaked phone in dry rice sometimes can bring it back to life.

@ramrod007: no its not..... It doesnt always work but the rice absorbs the water, obviously... it works alot of the time.
