G'day, Dr. Sutherland! I know something about waterproof cell phones. I've got a really disappointing waterproof cell phone -- the Casio G'z One. It's all beat up from being regularly dropped on the pavement, and it's messy from being left out in the rain. It's six years old, and passes the Japanese specifications for submersion -- three feet, thirty minutes, I think -- and it won't wear out. Lousy phone -- one battery change about three years ago -- like the Timex ad from long enough ago that only you and I will remember, Chuck -- "takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!" That's my lousy Casio G'z One! And the greatest of its faults -- you can't even play Angry Birds on it! My grandkids have disowned me. Maybe I could take a picture underwater and kill it that way. Dunno -- might even do that. Lousy phone!
