Palm Pixi lives after spending 45 minutes in an oven
Share:
In continuation to the trend of smartphones surviving after being mistreated, we present you a story of a smartphone, which got brought back to life right after spending 45 minutes of “baking” inside of an oven. Inspired by the story of the iPhone 4, which survived after falling to the ground after unintentionally being dropped off from a plane, The Consumerist reader Jim decided to share the tale of his wife and her resilient Palm Pixi.
She immediately grabbed the phone and when it had cooled enough, she removed the battery, which was distorted by the heat. Figuring she had nothing to lose, she placed a spare battery into the phone. It immediately came to life and has not given her a problem since.
We strongly suggest you to restrain yourself from treating your gadgets to anything similar to the story above, but if you have already cooked your smartphone in the past, either by accident or on purpose, feel free to share the results with us by posting a comment below.

I normally cook my phones at 350° for 60 minutes. Make sure they are well done.

Funny, most Android phones cant even handle being used normally.

I got a story too. My Android phone got lit on fire by a 60 foot Alaskan Snow Dragon, when it was stolen by Elves out of my pocket. After climbing Mt. Everest to retrieve my phone it was frozen into a solid block of ice. I chipped it out with an ice pick and managed to jab it a couple of times in the screen. Thanks for Gorilla Glass it didn't break. Upon my decent, I dropped my phone off the peek into a 3000ft plumit to the ground. I couldn't find my phone for the longest time, but a Sherpa named Iktul told me that his Yak had ingested the thing. I pulled out my trusty knife, gutted the yak and removed my phone from the Yak's 2nd stomach, yeah it was ingested twice! After finally going through the adventure of my life, just for my cell phone, which I clearly would do anything for. I pushed to power button and joy came to my heart when I heard, "DROOOOID!"
