Kryptonite = Water To The Blackberry Wireless Phone

Posted: May 13, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

OK, so what's the deal with ‘water'?  Why is this the instantaneous killer for Blackberry's and all cellular phones alike?

Does this ‘really' have to happen, or have we just been set up to think so.  Exactly how many 10's of millions of phones are replaced every year by carriers from people exposing their phones to this highly toxic and dangerous substance we call the dreaded H20?

If you ask me, this seems to be a multi-million dollar business all on its own.

From rain to spilled drinks, swimming pools and unexpected ocean waves, sinks, fountains and unfortunately – all too often – toilets!  Water is the one devastating factor to cell phones.  But, not just the phones; for in this case batteries are included!  They have also been designed shall we say, to fail along with the phone.  Come on Copper Top . . . where are you when we need you now?


At first glance I do understand the poor combination that water plays on electronics.  However, upon further scrutiny don't you think that just a little plastic seal around the edges and a sealed inner lining between the touch pad and the circuitry would be an impossible task?  A lot of phones have the keyboard built into the screens.  How hard would it be now?

Or is my theory true.  The money made by the carriers off of the insurance and the return of many slightly damp cell phones is just too lucrative to give up.  As they say; there's no money in the cure, just the medicine.  So keep your insurance, get your replacement (refurbished but used) phone and take it like a man!

Just face it; cell phones weren't made to last nor were they designed to withstand the real world environment of the average user . . . intentionally . . . hmmm.  So, on that note; what's with the explode-able-phone when you drop it?  The cover comes off and the battery seems to have its own automatic ejection system.  Could we build just a little bit of a tighter clip?  Why do I need a broom and a dust pan just to pick up my phone from that massive 2 ½ foot suicide fall that it just had as it slipped past my holster clip.  Remington, Smith & Wesson are you listening?

I don't know just how much the carriers are making off of replacing water damaged phones, but could you just imagine the first manufacturer who brings out a commercial with a scuba diver making a cell phone call at 50 feet under the water?  Frankly, I don't scuba dive but that's the phone that I want.  Or a phone that when I drop it doesn't explode upon impact, it just has built-in software that tells it to say; "oops, I've been dropped, I'm down here", and then automatically calls your wife to tell her that you're an idiot.

Oh well, as they say; were I king.

So tell me, just how many times have you had your cell phone replaced because of water damage?  We're doing a survey to find out.  Take the survey;

    When we think of buying wholesale cell phones, we think of what is best for our business. It is not enough knowing that the latest type of cell phones released are Android phones thus we will immediately resort to buying that type of phone alone.

    With the popularity of cellular phones growing, even amongst the younger generation it means there are more in circulation and more being disposed. In fact it is estimated that 1 in 3 Americans alone will upgrade their cellular phone this year, resulting in millions of abandoned phones – many to be thrown in the trash, but if we were to stop and think for a moment these electrical items carry a value to the refurbishment companies regardless of their condition and functioning.

    Excuse me if this seems a little "tongue and cheek", but the story is actually true. After literally years of this I discovered that the sound of my cell phone ringing would actually cause my stress level to increase. Cleverly, I promptly put my phone on vibrate and kept it that way for a couple of years, thus reducing my level of CRS or (Cellular Ring Stress) as I like to call it. Unfortunately the solution that I came up with has now caused me CPHD! Is this really . . .

    Local time, in the evening of May 29, Apple's CEO Tim Cook, when presenting at the 10th All Things Digital conference sponsored by Wall Street Journal, is quoted by indicating that something unbelievable is coming on the way at Apple. As always been happening at Apple, captain Cook refuses to leak more, despite the positive denial of the long rumored iTV. By using this trick, Apple keeps playing hard-to-get games.

    What Is a PRI . . . This one phrase has over 7,400,000 searches per month according to Google. Telecommunications can be a very confusing environment, not only with the technology, but also with the 'literally' 1,000's of acronyms that are associated with this industry, such as; DID, DOD, ISDN, VoIP, ACD, SMDR, PSTN, PBX and the like. I will unmask the 'techno jargon' associated with this industry, and quite simply explain to you in plain simple English exactly what all this means.

    Got rash? Funny; when you search the Internet for a solution, you do find a great deal of information, but nothing & no where is there an actual solution. There does not seem to be a site that says "do this and the rash will go away. There are a lot of 'urban legends', but certainly nothing definitive . . . until now!!!

    Buying a Friesian is not as simple as when you purchase your average everyday horse. There is a whole new world that you are going to be entering into when you buy a Friesian. You will be entering into two societies. Living in America you'll want to belong to the Friesian Horse Association of North America (FHANA), AND you'll probably become heavily involved with the KFPS, which is the Netherlands' oldest and second largest studbook and has about 12,000 members.

    Friesian Horses are 'truly' a unique breed of horse. At one point they almost went the way of the dinosaur facing extinction. There were only 3 remaining 'approved' studs and just 500 'approved' mares! Friesian's are well known for their strength, size and beautiful pure black color. If there is a large black beautiful and powerful horse in a movie - it's probably a Friesian, such as in the movie Zorro with Antonio Banderas.

    How do you go about deciding which cellular phone you are going to buy? Whether you shop on line or in a retail store, there is a whole dynamic as to what phone we buy. Personally, I have the Blackberry Wireless Phone. • So, do you wait until your contract has expired and just get the most ‘cost effective' upgrade, as recommended by your service provider? So, for better or for worse I have categorized you below.
