hmmm, that could definitely be bad. LOL I've dropped mine in a sink full of dish water before. Cell phones don't like that either.

Sometimes... they get over it and will talk to you again. But if they are really mad, it can take up to 2 or 3 days. Sometimes taking their booty off and warming them up with a hairdryer makes them happy and they are willing to forgive you sooner.

Try it. Don't give up. Just leave it alone to sulk.... don't try to push it's buttons. After a couple days they usually aren't mad and may forgive you.

... then again that's only when you've dunked them in water. Maybe Diet Coke makes them more angry than water does?

and we always think we won't need that maintenance planny thing they try to sell ya! ugH.

If I dropped my cell phone in a full glass, at least I'd know exactly where it was!

I went without a cell phone for a year because I lost it. The battery was dead, so NO I could not call myself. My husband was mad. A year later, he bought me another one, along with a belt clip. Sorry to hear that your phone is so ticked off at you. I'm sure Moto will get over it.

It took my phone two days to talk to me after my husband tried to murder it via drowning in a full glass of water.

Let it dry out, apologize, and maybe not bye-bye Moto.

Dropping a cell phone in a diet coke is better, for instance than dropping it in a toilet. I haven't done that ...but sure have thought it would be bad. And if it was a public toilet, I'm sorry, but I wouldn't even wait around to find out if the phone (or toilet for that matter) was still working.

I guess I better stop worry about it!

NO! Never ever ever say goodbye to Motto! Have I taught you nothing, my sister?

I know a guy. (I know people say that, but NO KIDDING!) I do know a guy who is a miracle worker on phones. Gave my Motto back to me after she died.

TOTALLY serious. Email me. I may be at least able to get My Guy to save your contacts etc.

NEVER say goodbye to Motto.

Well, unfortunately, I did drop one in the toilet once and I just let it die a painful lonely death.
I have come to a time in my life that having cell phone insurance is a good idea.

OK, did you do this on a dare or something? ;)

girl, my phone died yesterday too-- I made the huge mistake of allowing my offspring to take pictures with it to entertain them & keep them quiet, and one of their FRIENDS brought it back to me and said "uhhhhhhhh it just had a blank screen now!!"

it is dead. sigh.

The teensiest bit of Indian food (dont ask) landed on and inside some of my cell phone this weekend. It then went into Car Kit mode which is essentially the blue screen of death for cell phone users. After trying everything out there on the internet to revive it, I took it to verizon. Luckily it was under warranty and they just gave me a brand new phone. Of course I realize I'm one of the rare lucky ones.

Are you by chance on Cingular? If so, I have a spare just for ya... sorry only one per customer. While supplies last. (email me offline)

They don't like coffee either.

RIP Moto. I spilled beer twice on my last phone (Sprint, perhaps) and it still kept on ticking. Now had I submerged it in beer...that might have killed it.

My Treo survived a dunk in dirty dishwater. I left it on the dryer for a week to get all the water out. It was a very hard week.

I was once balancing my husband's cell phone (borrowed because I had smashed mine) in one hand and a not-quite-potty-trained child in the other, and just as I thought, Wow, I really should be careful not to drop Wade's phone into this here toilet, I lost my grip on the child. Who fell in the toilet. And knocked the cell phone out of my hand.

It, fortunately, did NOT fall in the toilet.

The end.

Mine went through the washing machine, and I said good-bye. But several days later, it miraculously came back to life--so do not despair, Busy Mom! Moto may rise again from the ashes once he's had time to dry out.

My neighbor dropped hers in the toilet at the movie theater and of course leaped up to look at it and activated the autoflush sensor. We harassed her for a month by calling her NEW phone claiming to be various new owners of her swimming phone - you know, Nemo, Ariel, Aquaman...nothing like friends to pour a little salt on the would! Prepare for months of ribbing!
