Cellphone Mishap

Have you ever wondered how much your cellphone can take before it finally dies on you? I found out that Blackberry phones are pretty resilient. I accidentally left my Blackberry inside the pocket of my jacket when I placed it in the washing machine. When I finally realized what I had done, I quickly stopped the machine, but it was too late. My phone was soaking wet with water and laundry detergent. I quickly took it apart and wiped dry every single part of the phone. Taan told me to bury it in uncooked rice because rice absorbs moisture. I did that and after a few days of drying it out. I turned it on, and it worked like normal. At least for now...

A friend of mine also did the same thing with her Blackberry many month ago. She dropped her phone into the swimming pool. She too buried the phone in rice, and it is still working well like nothing ever happened. I guess they make phone pretty sturdy these days. Hopefully, you don't make the same mistake I did. Make sure to always check the pockets of your jackets and pants before putting it in to the laundry machine.
