I do not even attempt to keep up with the latest in electronics and cell phones. My cell phone is okay for talking and makes pictures, what more could you want? I discover what more I could ask for, waterproofing. I fished with a new acquaintance Sunday afternoon who had a submersible phone. He had dropped in a lake and found it at night by calling it and seeing it light up underwater. He was using Verizon and I did not get the model and make. It was a little clunky but not that much. I have a friend in south Mississippi who has a Motorola Quantico, which is guaranteed for up to 3 ft. underwater for 30 minutes. It?s good to see that those of us who sometimes get wetter than we meant to have not be forgotten.
