Well, I have learned my phone is not appreciative of any of that. In fact, it made it's feelings very well known to me by heating up to a boiling point where I was about to be burned if I held onto it too long.

So, moral of the story, after stopping by the Apple store to pick up a new one, this time at the lovely price of $599 plus tax, is that iPhone 4's suck!!! They don't appreciate a weekend getaway and a dip in the bay.

I might add, the culprit was five rum runners with floaters of 151 before taking that fateful dip.

Let the iPhone bashing begin. again........yet.........still.

Had a friend who found one in the bay here, in the water. I guess whoever dropped it decided there was no point in retrieving it. My friend got it, let it dry out for a week or so and it works perfectly. Unless you know it's fried you might want to give it some time to dry out and see what happens...

It definitely fried. No doubt in my mind.
It has now been four days since it happened and still won't turn on. Won't even acknowledge the charger when connected.

If this had been regular water or pool water, I would have opened it and aired it out.
Being salt water and for so many years seeing first hand what salt water can do to things, there is no doubt this phone is done.
Within a short while, the corrosion will begin.

I'm sure it is a goner, just wanted to mention it as the one my friend found was in salt water too. Even though it's working no doubt over time the corrosion will take it's toll...
