Motorola's Android flavored Jordan is designed to survive a swim in the sink

If you are one of those people who can't seem to get a grip on their handset, and are always dropping their phone in the sink or down the toilet, Motorola and T-Mobile just might have an Android flavored model for you. The Jordan is a rugged Motorola device that is expected to be waterproof to a depth of 10 meters (33 feet), so unless you have a toilet or sink that is incredibly deep, your phone should survive the plunge into the water. In fact, the Jordan (obviously a code name and not a tribute to the long retired NBA star Michael Jordan) will be IP67 certified.

The unit is expected to launch or float sometime in November, just in time to live through a drop in the snow. So you can put away that bag of uncooked rice that you carry with you at all times. With the Motorola Jordan, you might not get punished for having butterfingers.
