So whats the use of going diving with the phone? This means, we can talk underwater then, right? Haha, I dont think so. But it would be an excellent feature though.

                    That model is going to be amazing! cannot wait to test it. have been testing previous models; pretty impressed by the finishing quality and how tough the phones are.

                      I think they are finally trying to to corner the growing fish market.

                      Intering to see how the thing would be kept cool without ventilation holes? All processors need ventilation.
