    This is why Nanoflow X has come up with a solution to make all cell phones waterproof. Well, IPX67 waterproof which can withstand the phone being submerged under 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes! We've waterproofed devices ranging from and iPhone 6 to an iPad Pro.

    Let us know what you think, we will be spreading our services nationwide soon enough. Look out for us!

    In my experience the Sanyo Pro 700 should be removed, mine was knocked into my kitchen sink while I was rinsing of a knife, there was no pooled water just water being sprayed and the phone got sprayed very quickly, maybe 1-2 seconds before I reacted to the phone going into the stream and turned off the faucet, I shut it down, removed the battery and let it dry over night. the next morning the phone's vibrator started going non stop when I put the battery back in and the front LCD would turn on. I shut the phone back off removed the battery again and put it in a container of rice for a few hours to try to dry anything that might have been left. When I put the battery back in again there was no response. The phone will not turn on anymore nor will it charge when plugged in. Like I said there was very minimal water contact on the phone itself, it was not under the stream long enough to even rinse all of the jobsite dust off of the outside of the phone so I don't think I would consider it to be water resistant even slightly.

    There seem to be some really nice waterproof phones for the Japanese market but I understand the phones will not work in the USA

    Divers watch would say water proof.. but cell phones.. Im not sure about that.. if it has a case with capability of completely sealing it out.. then perhaps thats possible, including the lcd to be water proof too..

    Since my last post I bought a Tundra for myself and a Sonim XP1 plus a Rugby for my Boys.
    I really like the Tundra and the Rugby, the Sonim died a premature death after about a month.
    My Father is needing a phone and I think I will give Straight Talk a try, since they use Verizon's towers.

    His/my house keeper has Straight Talk and is thoroughly pleased.

    I would avoid the G'zOne Brigade. I'm on my 2nd one, getting ready to call and complain for the same problem. Mine has a habit of shutting itself off and rebooting when typing a text. Haven't water tested this one or the other one, but the other one held up to the dust and temperatures (hi temp and low temp) while removing some refractory from a steel mill furnace at roughly 300 degrees F.

    Those are excellent GSM phones.
    CDMA phones are useless and not recommended due to backward technology
    GSM is versatile and the wave of the future
    The Tundra and Rugby specs claim they are water resistant, not water proof.

    I have noticed that a lot of phones the used to be water proof, are now called water immersible.
    The Casio Rock is rated at water resistant but can be immersed in 1 meter for 30 minutes.

    When a company says there product is water proof , then they have to stand behind that and replace a water damaged phone. When they advertise water resistant, they don't have to replace a water damaged phone.

    Hopefully most buyers will read up and understand the difference. I don't plan on swimming with any phone, even if it said it was water proof. But I see people buy a $400.00 Sonim and run it though the washing machine(on youtube) to see if it still works.

    Just need to throw in there as an AT&T employee, that there is no phone that is "Water Proof" the term that would be more suitable is "Water Resistant" just like they do use on watches etc... Most of these phones listed above to have a maximum submersian time and depth. Although they will hold up much better than a standard cell phone against water damage, it is possible for these phones to be water damaged as well. The biggest difference between a watch and a cell phone is think about how simple the technology of a watch is, and how complex the technology of a cell phone is. It is much easier for manufacturers to produce water proof watches than it is cell phones. Thanks everyone!
