New Nokia phone is water-resistant 'on molecular level'

Now this is innovation. Watch Apple copy it and claim it as their own and the iFanboys praise Apple for their copying of others.

Awwww snap.

You'd have thought - what with mobile/cell phones being in large part all about use on the go out in the open and all - water-proofing would have been a very high priority from day 1.

We don't all live in California or some such usually dry sunny place

Hopefully you're right bobiroc, the days of covers & such may be coming to an end.

Here's hoping it works & becomes an industry standard.....and if it's a cheap process maybe it'll become standard in most CE goods.
It would be a hell of a boost for anyone (especially the insurance industry....and us premium paying punters) with kids having accidents, burst pipes or flooding damage if it didn't wreck your gear & you could just rinse it off.

sick

Now you can drop it in the toilet all you want and not worry about it any more.That's seems to be where most of them end up sooner or later.

i saw this on Richard Hammonds "Miracles of Nature" a few months ago... interesting and makes you wonder why everyone doesn't copy it.

Water damage is a great incentive to buy another new phone.

My question is - how repairable will it be? I can't imagine it would be easy to disassemble.
