My first blackberry was that cute little red bb curve that everyone love. Water was spilled on it, it got lost in a snow bank and it even fell into the toilet twice. As expected, in each case the phone stopped working. I got wise to the idea of opening it up and hang it by the base board heater over night and would you know it! it would come back to life and work again. The very last time it fell in the toilet it wont work no more so I said that was it. I put it away in the desk draw and got myself an upgrade to the new bb bold 9700. After some problems with my first bold they sent me another. It has been about 1 1/2 yrs since the demise of my curve. All the while its been sitting in my desk draw. On an impulse recently, I decided to charged up the curve, took the sims card out of the bold and dropped it in. The darn thing got ressurrected again. It worked just as good as the first day I bought it. That curve is indistructable.
