Well I found out on Sunday that placing your iPhone glass face down next to the sink where your 4 year old washes his/her hands with Dial soap can have detrimental effects, like not being able to use the water and soap logged iPhone for anything but a flashlight, or a clock. I can not even power the phone off since you need to do the neat little finger swipe across the screen to power down, which no longer works. I let the phone power down to a thin red battery line, but it would not go all the way dead. Grr… You can’t even remove the battery, so like when my wife washed her old Samsung phone we just pulled the battery, and let the phone dry, and then bought a new battery and her old phone worked fine.

Well I am not done. I have a vacuum evaporator at work so I am going to pull the water out of the phone in a 4×10^-5 Torr vacuum over night. The guys at work joke that I now have a $500 brick (orig 4gig iPhone bought July 29th, 2007), I counter that if placing the iPhone in a vacuum overnight does not fix it, I will coat it with gold so then I will at least have a $500 gold brick.

As it stands now:
Dial soap: One
iPhone: Nothing
