I went through this same issue about 6 years ago. I lost four cell phones in the drink in one summer !!!! They were the new (at the time) Smart Phones for about $500 each. Ouch !!!!

Did I see you out on the wagen on Sunday ??? I was in the 30 ft light blue hull Hydra Sport draggin bars for about 6 1/2 hours with noooooo luck !!!

I'm about ready to give it up and go back to Bass and Blues.

I was out there Saturday not Sunday. I caught the largest striper of my life. It was 40 to 45 pounds and had to be 50" long. Not to much fun on an accurate 50 and of course I had to let it go after a few pictures.

Get the Verizon casio that is water proof and shock resitent, clip on a boat key float and your set. I went through 3 phones before this one. I have dropped this one 3 times and have retrieved it each time. Motorola has one that is watreproof and floats

You know that most of the carriers offer a backup service so that you don't lose your contacts when you hose up your phone...

For verizon, the link is here; http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/l...Protection.jsp

I have a blackfish making calls all over the world. LOL


Just lost another one last week. I can't wait to get the bill for the calls the blue crabs are making (droped this one at the dock).

I bet he calls the blackfish from last year.

It's not only the $500.00 per phone.
It's all the contacts and numbers. I thought I was smart and got the auto back up from verizon the last time I dropped the phone but when I went there last week they tell me, "sorry sir but that doesn't work with the smart phones" WELL WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT WHEN I SIGNED UP

So I have been paying for this for no reason at all.

Don't even get me started with the insurance, 1 week to get a new phone. I wish I could go without my cell for 1 day let alone one week.

Great idea hotshot, now they have to make a waterproof "smart phone" for it to work for me. My boss keeps me on a tight leash answering emails and such. He wants me to get a Sat phone so I will never be out of reach. I really need to hit the lottery.

Sorry for the rant but the cell phone is one of those things that really sets me off.

that's what I've got now, but my dealer said that it is only guaranteed to 3 feet and in freshwater...
