Fish story; Nokia phone plays the part of Jonah

fish_story

I was listening to the latest episode of The Cell Phone Junkie on my Nokia N85 on the Sounder train and heard Mickey tell a story of a man who lost his Nokia phone in the water and surprisingly it was later found. The kicker is that the phone was found by a fisherman inside a fish that was caught and the Nokia phone still worked. The owner stated it did start acting up so he did have to change out the circuit board, but it is still pretty amazing that it worked at all after being swallowed by the cod.

This story reminds me of Rafe’s water dunking story of his E71. You gotta admit these Nokia phones are pretty hardy devices. Still, I don’t recommend using it as bait on your next fishing trip.

Pretty amazing that the phone was still working after being found inside the fish. I am still wondering how that happened. I bet his little white dot under the battery was bright red :-)
