My phone fell into a pint of milk :(

I found out to my detriment that phones also don't like Caffe Latte so much, especially not Decaf soya ones. (maybe it was the decaf it didn't like)

Anyway, phone worked, but the back/cancel button stopped working, so the only way i could get back to the menu / cancel a call was to turn the damn thing off.

I'd see if you can borrow a phone off a mate until upgrade time, if the sim still works that is!

Sims are usually ok once dried off, just make sure you transfer all your contacts onto it so you still have them once you put it into another phone.

It always surprises me how fragile phones are when it comes to liquids.

I've heard friends of friends dropping iPods and other MP3 players into water/toilets/pints/coffees/etc. and there doesn't seem to be nearly the same failure rate of mobiles.

If course it could be down to the large keypad vs small buttons or the radio electronics being more sesative than other components.

Had similiar dilemna after having new phone for only 6 days but mine fell down the toilet. Fortunately I opted to take out insurance (don't have a good record with mobile phones) so it's been sent off to see whether it is beyond repair. Hoping that new phone arrives soon as fed up with old one!

I've dropped mine in a pint of fosters and after drying it out in the gents it worked ok. The '0' key stuck though

Yea the phone still works but the joy stick is buggered and considering you use ot for most things thats not good. I even took the entire phone apart and cleaned it to no avail so im using another crappier phone at the mintue until my contract runs up in june then ill get another.

Hey guys,

My good old Sony Ericson k800i fell of the top of my computer last night straight bang into my pint of milk. Soneedless to say its not working anymore. Now im on a contract with Vodafone. What do i do now? Just buy a new phone and hope the sim card still works? What if it doesnt ?

I realised that the chances of this happening the way it did were fairly remote. So i think someone up above doesn't like me the best

Take it apart and let it dry. Usually works with water, not sure what effect milk will have on it though.

Was it semi-skimmed or Full Fat?

[neonplanet40]

semi-skinned lol

The joy stick is feckered so theres nothing i can do

I did try to clean the whole phone when it was apart like i said but to no avail
