That one phone reminds me of a fellow at work. He only bid the rugged, military spec phones. He just got a Samsung Rugby, and always brags about how he can put it in the toilet for 30 minutes and it works be fine. One of these days I'm gonna try 31 minutes and see what happens.

My only question is why would you want to put your phone in the toilet for 30 mins?

Some of this is interesting, but the story needs a proofreader.

One reason the nokia 1100 sold so many units is that the phone was very cheap to buy and was used as bombs

where is samsung's claim that most mobile technologies in the early 90's belong to them?

I used to have a Nokia 3650 with 16MB MMC card!! good enough for few ringtones, themes, and few VGA shots :)
and even in 2008/2009 Nokia 6233 came with a 128MB MicroSD card!!
