or would the heat ruin my phone? I would use it for music. Just curious, I plan on getting another gym account.
 
Personally, i wouldnt take the risk, those things are very hot and can get very humid.

for the record I used to have the treo 755 and I used it in the sauna for about 25 mins every time i went to the gym. But I had insurance on the phone.
 
If you want to be cafeful, I would suggest putting it in some sort of container to keep the heat out. Perhaps a zippable water container, or something like that. The heat shouldn't do too much to the phone. Normally, I just take the phone and leave it by my side.
 
Nevermind...thanks for the advice. I would be in the sauna for for only 25 minutes, I can workout without music. im not gonna chance it.

I knew this girl once who would zip lock (or something) her cordless phone so she could use it in the shower.

I remember liking her, and still being like "Hm, that's pretty weird" when she told me that.

Please tell me you're not one of those guys who go and sit in the sauna at the gym for 30 minutes and then say they've just done a great workout.

:rolleyes:

Also: Cameras in the saunas/changing rooms? Hmmmmmm.
;)

The noncondensing is the fail part. You get condensing in a sauna.

You also get condensing when you live next to a body of water, go for a walk outdoors in winter (but not necessarily below -20C) temperatures, and then step into a heated house. If that voids the warranty, then the warranty isn't worth the time it takes to read it.
 
The high temperatures/humidity with electronics do not mix well.. I wouldn't recommend bringing anything electronic into a sauna.

Also, you may set the humidity sensors off on your iPhone if brought in the sauna. (voiding your warranty)
 
The image below should bring back memories!

mod note

I think this thread ran it's course a long time ago and leaving it open after the recent necro will cause confusion so I've closed it
