1. Well we will see. The Moto G was not so expensive. My contract is:

    14 € / month, 12 month contract, same price as Sim Only
    159 € for the phone, without contract it is 219 here in Holland
    14,95 € Administration fees

    So the phone basically cost me 159 eur. Which is not that expensive. The 8 GB is even cheaper. I can probably sell the N7 for about 180-200, there is a small scratch not noticeable unless you look for it.

    My guess is that the N7 will become a family device and the Moto G my personal device.
  2. Yeah, that seems like a good option I still don't get or like tablets but I see why a family would like to have and use one.

    What about MotoG's screen?
  3. No complaints. 4.5" and 720p and more than sufficient brightness.
  4. I think I know the answer but just in case any of you amazing guys can help -
    iPhone went in the washing machine for 2 minutes last Friday. Took sim card out, been in rice/heat ever since (not too hot).
    Absolutely nothing from screen at all. Zero. Nilch. Nada.

    Any hope?
  5. Doesn't sound good if its ready need this long. Was it switched on as it went in to the machine?

    OUCH.

    My bet is that it has died, sadly for you. But good luck. Leave it rest in rice (lots of) and best of lucks. I went into the sea with a phone and a camera and both survived after a week drowned in rice. The phone was a Nokia though

    I would say that is the end of your iPhone. It is very likely that moisture has got into your phone and hit the battery where it swells.

    I don't even think it is repairable in that situation. You'd be very lucky if it were to be repaired. Do you have any phone insurance that you took out with your provider? Or could you claim it on your house insurance?

  8. Yes, sadly. Left it in my work trousers *Face palm*

    I have insurance, was just trying to avoid using it. I might ring Orange and see if there's anything they can do.

    Thanks for the replies guys

    Ten years ago my mother had a Samsung phone that fell into the well and was left there for 8 months. When we pulled it out, it was for about 24 hours on the heat, and worked perfectly for another year or two. I swear, this is a true story. O.o

  10. That was from the age mobile phones were designed to call and take a hit. Now if you just look too harsh at your phone the screen will crack!

    Although I must say my old Lumia 800 looks really well for a 2 year old phone! The Lumia range is very durably made, it may not contain 'premium' materials (read scratchy aluminium), but its much more appropriate for a phone!

    My guess about Dan's phone is that it wont work, it *could* be fixeable if lets say only the battery died. Even when you get it too work, issues caused by water damage will resurface eventually.
