How many times have you been sitting and soaking in a bubble bath, your all lathered up and then the mobile rings. You answer it but because of the soap hands it drops in the tub. Or, your sailing and as the boat lists over the mobile ends up sliding into the drink?
Evidently a lot of phones are destroyed every year from water damage. Now the inventive people at Fujitsu have solved the problem, introducing the F705i G3 Mobile Phone, the latest in waterproof communication technology.
Going down without a scuba tank
Super slim at 1.37cm thick, this handset can be dunked in a metre of water for up to 30 minutes without self destructing. Featuring super clear voice and mike abilities this nifty new mobile automatically adjusts its inbound and outbound volume to allow for your voice level and ambient noise.
Armed with a 1.3 megapixel camera and 8 times quick zoom, you can shrink or enlarge text with the touch of button. The battery at full charge facilitates 170 minute of talk time and allows for up to 100 minutes of video calls.
Now for the bad news, the Fujitsu F705i is only available in Japan at the moment. Don’t hold your breath, searching the net there is no scheduled release for Australia or the U.S at present. One would hope though that such a practical invention will eventually come to the shores of the western world.
