Amazed: Nokia Lumia Fell Into Lake,Spent 3 Months Found And Still Working

A man who found a phone in a lake was amazed to discover it still worked - despite spending a quarter of a year submerged.

Roger Nilsson contacted the Facebook page of Nokia Sweden to tell them about how he found his Lumia 800 - lost three months ago - wedged between two rocks in the lake. Intrigued, he took the phone, which was encrusted with mud, shells and other waste, back to his home and cleaned it up, took it apart and left it to dry on his radiator. When he reassembled it he was stunned to discover it was able to make calls and even the camera still worked.

The battery too had lost none of its potency, lasting two days from a full charge, reports the Times of India. What makes the discovery even more incredible is the phone is not designed to be any more water resistant than any other smartphone on the market.
