Having an iPhone in the shower..?

Actually, I was asking whether it was safe to have an iPhone in the shower with you.

Ok I'm not that good with sciences and all, but here is what I'm thinking about.

I shower, with my iPhone in the toilet too.
I use a water heater.
So, I was wondering, since after a while, the mirror in my toilet gets foggy. Which I think is due to the heat from the water I'm using. So.. I was wondering if this "steam" could somehow cause the water sensors to go off, if they condense on the cooler surface of the iPhone?
Oh, and I don't touch it when I'm in the shower. (wet hands and all)

-Summary-
I hope not, especially since I'm careful not to get any water near it. Was just wondering whether the steam could get to the phone, tripping off the water sensors? Are they that sensitive?

OP are you female by any chance
 
I am a species out of this world.

No, I'm kidding. I'm a female, yes. I was guessing it would be pretty obvious from the berry and the tarts in my profile name.

Cheers

no not by the name, just by your original post, something about using your phone in the bathroom... i think a guy would just shower quickly/not risk it/use a regular stereo in the bathroom

why do you need your phone with you when you shower? so whats gonna happen if the phone rings? you gonna pick it up?

Most likely, a person wouldn't here it ringing if they were in the shower anyway, so I don't see the point in bringing it anywhere near the shower.
 
Well, I did say I wasn't using it for notifications, etc.

I was using it for music. However, I do hear the notification alerts made when I receive a SMS though.

Honestly, I'm surprised that you can hear it over the shower. Mines so loud that I have to plug it into my Tivoli speakers and drag the right speaker over to the bathroom. Needless to say, I plan on using Airplay (iOS 4.2) and an Airport Express in the attic connected to a marine speaker in the bathroom to get my tunes and podcasts while in the shower in the future.
 
My only advice is:

I don't mean to be a bother but have you seen this girl,
She's been runnin' through my dreams,
And it's driving me crazy it seems,
I'm gonna ask her to marry me

Don't even ask !!! I read one thread where the guy slept with the phone on the pillow next to him.

I've been doing that the past three years. Uhhhh, I actually have my iPhone with headphones to fall asleep with my music on. Next to it is my Nexus One because of it's kickbehind alarm. Too bad the iPhones alarm sucks >.>

Toilet phones should be flagged...just like George Costanza's toilet book.
 
My bro takes his iphone in the bathroom and so far so good. Nothing happened yet.
