If you’ve ever had a mobile phone die on you due to water damage – such as a colleague of my who accidentally dropped hers into a glass of water – then theFujitsu F103i mobile phone could be exactly what you’re looking for.
Stated as having been in development for three years, though the F103i is by no means the first ever waterproof cell phone, what distinguishes this phone from its predecessors is that it has dispensed with the bulk usually associated with waterproof phones – boasting a thickness of a mere17.9mm. Not only that, but the F103i manages to be waterproof without scimping on a reasonable feature set as it boasts a 2.2 inch QVGA screen, a 1.3 mega-pixel internal camera and microSD expandability.
Capable of being completely submerged to a depth of 1 meter for up to thirty minutes the F103i is not exactly going to become de rigor for the scuba divers amongst you but for those that like to take calls in the shower or the bath – or for those who have a habit of dropping their mobiles in cups of water – the up and coming F103i could prove to be an ideal investment.
