    around thanksgiving my girlfriend lost her pearl and this evening while visiting my folks this evening my dad mentions he found a blackberry in the yard a couple days before christmas and was curious if i wanted it. he shows me a pearl and i said "i'll bet it's your phone" to my girlfriend. i didn't think anything of this as it sat under leaves and in pools of water for weeks on end. for ****s and giggles i thought "well lets plug it in!" you guessed it, the damn thing turned on and works like a charm.
    i don't know about you but this simply blew my mind. i'll be sticking to RIM for a good long while if they survive that kind of abuse!

    That's awesome. I still have a superb 8700c.

    By superb, I mean....It works just like it did two years ago!
    Not 'OHMYGOD8700C"

    Although I have heard the 8700c is the most widely used BlackBerry for large businesses.

    yeah that 8700 and 7130 have gotta be the most common.
