had a working ca. 1978 13" Sony with the clunk-clunk tuner that I gave
away. It even survived water being poured into the vents (the screen
turned green, it was unplugged immediately and left to dry, then
worked perfectly).

"N" dropped her Motorola StarTAC into a footbath at her pedicure place
;-)

Immediately turned it off, opened it up to dry, but 48 hours later it
didn't work.

So she got a new phone.

A few weeks later I decide to scavenge the battery pack from it before
I tossed it. But, out of curiosity, I turned it on first... came
right up ;-)

I've always been happy with Motorola phones, but I need to get a new
one to meet the requirements of E-911.

Can you get a cell phone anymore that DOESN'T have a camera ?:-)

They camera kind are inconvenient in some ways-- they are
theoretically banned entirely from youth sports change rooms, but I
don't think anyone cares so long as you don't whip it out with the
kids in there. I can squeeze mine (Sony-Ericsson) in the pocket to
send a busy signal and stop the ringing.
