iPhone 3GS survives dip in pool: Video to 'prove' it

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. We'll take it with a pinch of salt -- he might have filmed the footage with a waterproof camcorder -- but there's no real reason not to take him at his word.

Needless to say, this voids your warranty. Don't try it at home, kids.
