Slimmest Waterproof Mobile Phone

Posted by John Kullman

phone1.jpgIf you want to be the first on the block to own the world’s slimmest waterproof 3G Mobile Phone, you should buy a Fujitsu F705i. The handset is only 13.7 mm thick and is being marketed as the thinnest waterproof phone ever made. A lot of technology went into making this phone to meet IPX5 and IPX7 waterproof standards. This wonder will work even after being sprayed or submersed in water for 30 minutes.

This device is perfect for those of use who like to make calls while in the bathtub or while floating in the pool. Unfortunately, it won’t allow divers to make calls from the bottom of the ocean. The waterproofing is only good in depths up to one meter. So if you want to call the Coast Guard to rescue you from circling sharks, you’ll need something else.

It’s unknown if this phone is beer resistant or not. If you get one, submerse it in your favorite draft and let me know. This could be the perfect cell phone for sloppy drunks on the go.
