(Forgive the caps lock on some of this, but it needed to be done.)
Alright, the moment I feared finally happened this New Years Eve. We were running a little late, and I had trouble parallell parking my car in the snow.
Anyways, I asked my friend to park the car for me since he's had a lot more experience and as soon as he finished parking the car, I asked him if he saw my iPhone. We looked in the car and didn't find it, and I checked all my pockets and it wasn't in there as well. After getting panicky (if that's a word) I happened to look down in a pile of snow...and there it was...my iPhone sitting in SNOW!
After quickly grabbing the thing off the ground and turning the thing off AS FAST as possible, I feared the worst due to the fact that there was water on a lot of the phone and by the dock connector. NOT a good sign. I've dropped the phone once, but snow and water...I was sure the iPhone was doomed. My friends said to leave the phone off for a half hour which I did, and I thorougly dried the thing off and let it sit for that amount of time. I've heard people say to let the thing sit for a day if it gets water in/on it, but I was too impatient and only let it sit for 30 minutes.
Anyways, I turned it on and low and behold, it turned on and the screen and camera still worked fine. I then tested out a call and the speakerphone, and once again, it worked.
So yes, even after some snow, the phone works perfect after a drop on concrete, and water. It's been two days after now, and it works just as good as before. Amazing.
