LG Telecom Launches Water-Proof Cell Phone

LG Telecom, Korea?s smallest mobile operator, Thursday took the wraps off the nation?s first waterproof mobile phone, canU 502S developed under alliance with Japanese firm Casio Computer. No word on just how deep these phones can go before the seal gives in and leaks, so no scuba steve stunts!

``If dropped in a pool, tub or sink, this phone will survive in roughly thirty minutes since we sealed its tiny crevices with rubber packing,?? LG Telecom spokesman Kang Shin-koo said. Two big holes for a speaker and built-in camera module were also specially treated to prevent water from soaking into the handset through them. Its other strength is that the model can endure shocks in case of accidental drops because materials such as urethane and glass were employed that are resistant to such shocks.
