Undocumented feature of Motorola E680

It is ... water proof. Yes its true ! A while back, I droped my e680 in a drain, filled with about 1 foot of water. It didn't sink, it somehow floated .... The back cover was lost, its not really as tight as its nokia counter part. Funny thing is , the damn phone was still working !

I thought it was only a matter of time before it dies off. I turned off the power, pulled out the battery, clean it and let it dry for 2 days.

I tried my luck again, and damn, its working. Even the amps and dual speakers are fine, vibrate is ok, evrything is just as it used to be. Some buttons are lose, caused by the shock of dropping it on the floor (it bounced to the drain ..) but that's easily fixed.

I feel so lucky, :D I bought the thing for less than a month and I thought I was gonna lose it forever, 2k gone in 2s. But it somehow worked.....

Dont try it thou, I can't gurantee that yours will survive. Mine did, along the the sd card inside .......

About Uplink Hacker Elite, I still dont have time to write more about it yet, however, linux ppl can try the free open sourced version of it, google for mylink uplink clone.

Alright, its CNY, so I finally have time for myself, :D

First mission is to get my retired Gentoo partition working again. The last time I tried gentoo/gnome 2.8 with the new XORG server, it crashed, and I dont have time to fix it (I was doing a VB subject, and I dont feel like making VB working on linux, so I booted to Wind0ws most of the time ....).

Now that I have1 week break I hope to get my Gentoo partition working again. Let's see what new goodies does OSS have to offer.

P/s Uplink is a roXXor game, :D I'll make a post on Uplink later. Its a hacker simulation game, and its fUking addictive. For more info, google this : Uplink Elite Hacker
