iPhone from HTC

Three weeks back migrated from HTC Touch Pro to iPhone 3GS. Oh. What an amazing experience with iPhone. Never felt typing on a phone without keypad was so easy. Very easy to type and amazing features.

As I was enjoying every bit of the phone, over the weekend the tragedy happened. Kept the phone on the table and as I was drinking water, the bottle slipped off my hand and almost a full bottle of water bathed the iPhone

Water had entered through the charging socket and immediately phone said something like “unable to recognize device connected” (device it was trying to recognize was water). Switched off the phone and it was not switching on back.

Googled and found about water sensor which would turn pink if the phone is really damaged by water. Checked and found it to be white (normal). Read further that it might dry and once moisture goes might switch on later. So dried with hair drier and left the phone for 10 hours.

In the meanwhile called Apple support and they said liquid damage nothing can be done. Remembered about some insurance when I bought the phone from Sangeetha and called them up. Wowwwww. They said if it is not switching on back, it is covered with insurance by default and get a new once in 3 days by jus paying for tax amount of less than 500. That was amazing to hear.

In the meanwhile when I attempted to switch it on in evening , it worked and now it is working perfectly fine .
