Ultimate Phone for the Luxury Bath

by Roberta Murphy

I used to joke about needing a cell phone implant that I could answer with the twitch of a nose. That way I wouldnt have to play hide and seek with my phone and jump out of the shower when I hear it ringing. (Its really not that bad these days. I am a recovered celloholic who only occasionally relapses). Fujitsu Genies, after three long years of research, have come out with an amazing phone that is not only waterproof, but can ring underwater.

This slim .7 inch Fujitsu F703i can be held three feet underwater for 30minutes and offers a 2.2 inch QVGA TFT LCD, a decent 1.3 megapixel camera and a .1 megapixel internal camera for video calls. Have a dirty phone? You can now wash it! Given the times that my cell phones have gotten that tell-tale internal red dot that reveals water exposure, I am thinking that a washable phone should be a must. A big thanks for this find goes to the SciFi Blog:
