Nokia plans to make all Lumia and PureView phones waterproof

28 May, 2012
There's no hard date on when they'll start though. They'll use hydrophobic coating which they've demoed before.

          I will definitely buy a Waterproof Pureview Lumia. Perfect underwater and beach pictures without worries with instant uploads. Wow. I hope they make it shockproof too without the bulk. Might as well be a navy seal/ marine/ black ops phone. All it needs now is a bladed end. lol

              No_Matter, 28 May 2012This is how Nokia will steal money from people. If you don... morePlease, sit back and think for a while. Do you use "all the features" of your phone? I bet you don't even know how to use some of them or even if they exist. But you still paid for them, didn't you?

              Oh, I forgot... it's a Nokia thread and bashing Nokia is a hobby and thrashing them is a trend.

              At least, I wouldn't have to care about whether I am talking in a shower or capturing pretty moments "purely" in a romantic rain...

                    This is how Nokia will steal money from people.
                    If you don't need waterproof tech on your phone, but you want Lumia or Pureview - that's how you will pay for the feature you'll never use.

                        Even though I still think its too late, making a phone water proof is one of the most desirable features out there. No more worries for rain.

                          Right been a Nokia fan since 1998 but they have to get these things OUT and on time..Look the 808 has been in developmant for 5 years,so where is it then..They still have not got the bloody thing out..Nokia build good quality fones and Symbians absolute minimal draw on battery life and Nokias cameras and micro phones are top notch qualities...The trouble is getting the things to market and upgrades out..Yes Nokia do upgrade phones years old and the N79 went through hell in testing but thats no good if it takes a year to get hold of them..

                                      Perhaps they should be thinking about putting a duo core processor in there.

                                        Rollindadice, 28 May 2012Reason why i choose Nokia is because more than any other br... moreI am sorry but you can keep a samsung galaxy S ,with the back cover open , submerged underwater for 10 minutes before it dies. And you can revive it again using a bath of isopropyl alcohol.

                                        Your argument is invalid. I owned an e51 and N95 bouth broke . The e51 had dust everywhere inside it even under the display protection and the N95 developed creaks and sqeax everywhere untill it stopped working for no aparent reason.I belive if i was to submerge it in water it would have died instantly .
