About LinkBacksA little humor for your day: I was checking out how the Droid 3 is faring on eBay, and found an amusing ad. Everything looked good, and then I decided to read the "fine print":
Motorola DROID 3 - 16GB - Black (Verizon) Smartphone (723755000186) | eBay
I highlighted the part I found unexpectedly. It's interesting that the important fact that it was DROPPED IN WATER is mentioned somewhat offhand, after describing a small scratch.**PHONE HISTORY**
I used this phone for under five months. There is one tiny surface damage on the outside of the phone (it is smaller than a centimeter and is hardly noticeable). It does not affect the functionality or practicality of the phone whatsoever. I recently dropped it in water and immediately dried it off and turned the phone off. I put it in a box of rice for days and days, and lo and behold the phone works 100% perfectly! I had already ordered another phone, so I decided to sell this phone because it would benefit someone who does not have insurance on their phone (full retail price for this phone is $479.99). As you can see in the picture, the battery's water-indicator has been activated, which proves it really was touched by water. However, after several tests, I assure you that this phone is fully functional. I absolutely love this phone!
DISCLAIMER: If this ad belongs to one of you, I'm very, very, VERY SORRY FOR MAKING FUN of it! :P

01-10-2012 01:55 PMThanks a lot man! Now I'm never going to sell this phone! At least I didn't mention that I dropped it in a toilet.......oops. :P Actually, that seems to be the trend lately. Dropping cell phones in toilets. Maybe that's what the seller actually did!

01-10-2012 02:16 PMDoesn't it seem a bit strange they mentioned the water sticker, and INCLUDED A PICTURE!
That's a compulsive level of honesty that you just don't see anymore. (And maybe even argues against the point that they were "hiding the fact.")

01-10-2012 02:22 PMOK, no offense intended to ditzy girlfriends, but isn't this what your ditzy girlfriend says after driving your car? "Oh hey, I filled it up with gas. And oh yeah, the side of your car was 'touched' by a tree trunk."
