Report: Nokia signs deal with P2i for water-repelling on future models
Share:
A new report says that P2i has inked a deal with Nokia and adds that the Finnish handset manufacturer is expected to produce a water-repelling phone sometime in 2013. Some are speculating that this will be the Nokia Lumia 1000 EOS with a 41MP PureView camera. Also covered by P2i's nano-coating is the Huawei Ascend D2.
Unlike the coating applied by waterproofing firm Liquipel, which is paid for by the consumer after the purchase of a phone, P2i's process is part of the manufacturing process and is paid for by the manufacturer. The coating covers all of the phone, including the electrical boards inside.

Makes sense because Nokia phones causes a lot of drooling.

It'll be cool in a few years when being waterproof is a standard feature that no-one even considers a selling point when getting a new phone. I'm sure insurance companies won't be as enthusiastic though.

Do you make the ecosystem first or the phone?
I seem to remember baby Android without any toys when it was young.
Who knows, "maybe" WP can handle more HD games than Android in the future "If" it matures that is.
Imagine some XBox games made playable, Who knows what the future will bring to Android, WP, and iOS.

how about making games and apps first.. you really don't need water repelling phone if you don't have games and apps.. just saying..

Yeah, cause Microsoft doesn't have anything to do with games. It's not like they make xBox360, or XBox Live, right? WP8 couldn't possibly have any games now, or in the future ;o)
