what is the best way you have seen a Cellphone destroyed?
hahahahha. i still crack up. the labor foreman dropped his cell phone into a construction jobsite outhouse. he had to pull it off a flotilla of crap and paper. he actually tried to save it! i would have pushed it off the raft of hell, and sank that sucker. it shorted out, and had to get tossed anyways.
mine i have sent thru the washing machine cycle. no bueno.

Back in high school I let a buddy borrow my StarTac (remember those?) at a keg party. It slipped out of his hand and fell into the plastic cup full of beer. I still remember how that clear cup full of beer glowed green and orange, like the Titanic slipping into the ocean.

I rode my waverunner with my phone in my pocket this summer. Then I stood in waist deep water for a few minutes afterward as I put the waverunner back on the lift. When I climbed back on the dock I realized what I had done. I thought for sure that the razr I had been using for over 2 years had finally met its demise. But, alas, after 3 days of drying out, it started working again, even the battery. However, at first a few of the buttons did not work, then the external ringtone speaker went out. After a few weeks though, everything went back to normal and the phone was 100% fully functional again. I used it for a good 2 months after that until I upgraded to my Blackberry.

I put mine in the side pocket of the fabric cooler that I had on my boat one day.
The ice melted, the phone shorted, and never worked again. Aurel

I tossed one of mine out the car window off the Edison Bridge on the Garden State Parkway. It's probably somewhere out in the Atlantic by now.

Ha! I bet that felt great! I threw a crappy torque wrench out the garage door once years ago, and it spent almost 3 years hanging from a tree branch. I smiled every time I saw it there.

Was working under a car seat, had it held against my ear with my shoulder, sweat into it so bad it cooked.
Was the best thing that ever happened to it, the origional MotoQ was a POS. I like the Q9c though I take better care of this one. Son left an old Motorolla non flip phone on the roof of his car, it stayed there for about 1/2 a mile before it went sailing. When he couldn't find it I called it and someone answered it. Told me where it was and I went to get it. The fellow was holding it in 3 pieces with the wires still intact, and functioning. Have duct tape will travel.

My wife was once visiting me in my office building, and was using the ladies room. She stood up to flush the (industrial) toilet, and her cell fell out of the pocket of her hoodie sweatshirt and went down with the flush. Completely gone... probably in the Charles river by now.
