I got my Black Razor with a new Cingular contract about a year ago, and have been happy with it in every way. Easy to use, and seemed to be very well constructed. I had dropped it on hard surfaces a few times with no problem, but it wasn't until last week that I found out how truly tough this phone is. I accidentally left it in the pocket of my pants. It went into the wash, 40 minutes underwater with agitator and even a second rinse cycle. Then it went into the dryer undetected, and spent about an hour and twenty minutes banging around on high heat. When I pulled the pants out of the dryer and felt the phone in the pocket, I groaned and figured I was out a phone. Being optimistic, I removed the battery and left the case open until I returned from work. The battery, of course, was shot; but when I put the battery from my wife's Razor in it and pressed the ON button, it acted like nothing had ever happened. Worked perfectly, even with water still behind the LCD screen. The water eventually dried out, and I'm still using the phone with no problem. I can't believe an electronic device could survive this. INCREDIBLE!
