The iPhone 3G S records video underwater, too
One of the hallmark features of the iPhone 3GS is video recording. Waterproofing, however, is not part of the package.
YouTube user KhenaKara was filming some poolside footage on his shiny new iPhone 3GS when disaster struck: the phone slipped out of his hand and into the depths of the swimming pool. Lucky for us, he put the video up on YouTube.
Best part: "Crap...wait, it still freakin' works!" Even better, he says that days after the incident the phone still works just fine.
Needless to say, this voids your warranty.

So, to prevent this, Apple waterproofed some parts of the circuits and etc to be somewhat more more resistant to water.
I bet it was a waterproof video camera and not an iPhone just to get attention.
Or to get others to drop their iPhone in water to test it out.
Pulled it out...couldn't get it to work...
Wrapped it very well in towels...tossed it in a full drier load and dried it on low.
Now it works except for the wifi (which works if you are right on the access point) and the sleep button on the top only works sometimes.
At least it works though!

- See, first of all, what was he thinking taking the phone to the pool. Anyone that's recording video with whatever they have that's not waterproof deserves to have their stuff dropped into the water. Teach them a lesson not to bring their phone near the pool.
