Ya, my little one dropped her iTouch in the toilet for 2 seconds and killed it, but my HTC incredible has been through two full washings and one spin cycle. It continues to tick along, plus it has that Downey smell!
I guess part of that comes through needing a Mechanical Engineering degree, and a pair of midget arms to crack open an Apple product instead of two thumbnails and a quick "yank" with my Incredible. Cracked open, dried, reassembled, off I go!
Just say "NO" to the Empire and the Dark Side, Luke.
I find I can do just about anything an IPhone user can do, and I get to do it without all that corporate pomposity, and Fanboi clicky-ness.
