Hello. Im from the i9003 forum. But my wife has been using & abusing a galaxy mini for about 7mos now..
Yesterday, my 4yr old dunked the said phone in an oily & salty chicken soup. Good thing it wasn't hot anymore! But we only found out that its missing 3hours later.
To make the long story short, i've just finished giving it a sun bath, opened it up and wiped the excess oils aaaand IT STILL WORKS. :what:
Only casualty is the microphone- which can be solved by using a headset. No biggie. Congrats on your choice guys. I only hope my phone's as tough!

nice story
and thanks for your testimony ~
cheers for our mini, guys!
Yeah this phone is just awesome. i drooped it a lots of time but still its working fine like a new one LOL!
Update
Hey guys.
Since my last post, the sd card slot, headphones dock, ear piece & sms notification have stopped working. Because the sd card cant be read anymor, the camera & file transfers are affected.
Apart from these, its still a functioning phone with the aid of a bluetooth headset. It also remains a trusty wifi hotspot for us.
So if you drop yours in a liquid, the exposed hw parts mentioned above are the first to go. But the phone itself can "hold its breath" till you rescue it.
Cheers!

There's a story in the sgsl forum. The phone was dropped in water & the phone didnt fare as well as oir sgm.

So maybe you're right. Or maybe its the user's fault. The phone was turned on 5mins aftr the incident without drying the insides... :what:

Heard something dropped in my daughter's potty trainer while fixing her bed one night. Didn't bother to see what it is until I realized that I placed my phone beside her bed. That was about 5 minutes after it was soaked on a 1-inch deep of pee

Totally off the grid while in the mountains. Every few weeks we'd make a trip to town for supplies and while there we would stay a day or so in guest housing at a university so that was the chance to take a hot shower and have electricity. Otherwise we lived in a hut, collected rain for water, cooked over a fire, and used a man-made outhouse. I'll try to get some of my photos scanned and uploaded when my day slows down.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Bored?
(updated)
I read a book when I get bored.
I have a question: I have a feeling that the stability of CyanMobile keeps deteriorating by the day. I'm not installing anything. I just use these apps: Maxthon Browser, Wordfeud, Amazon Kindle, Phone and Messaging.
If was working fine till yesterday with the occasional slowdowns. Today, the phone froze while I was turning a page on the Kindle app. Then after sometime when I ended a call there was a black screen and the phone rebooted.
I'm using reVo A without any scripts. I do not have a lot of apps so no a2sd scripts either. Any suggestions?
