    You fool, phones are not washing machine friendly... they're dishwasher only!

    Well i can wash my phone in the sink. One of the nokia waterproof ones....went to the pub last saturday afternoon, and was walking decided it'ld be a good idea to put it a stream, it was fine. Brother wouldnt believe me so i filled up the sink and left it in there for a while, adn it still works

    But dont know how wel it reacts to soap....

    I have put 2 phones through the washing machine and both have been fine afterwards. All I did was take it apart and put it in the airing cupboard and let it dry out. Did need a new battery in both, but you can get these dead cheap off eBay.

    My friend had his phone in the washing machine. Not a special one just a normal ericsson, and it worked fine afterwards...
    Just goes to show...Ericsson 0wn Nokia (as this thread is not on what phone manufacturers are best then this fact can be left undisputed).
