I have one that's a couple of models back. Did'nt know it was waterproof till I got to Cuttyhunk and it dropped into the water while unloading the boat. Probably 5 or 6 feet of water I said rats that phones dead. Everybody was amazed when it did'nt get killed. I guess I should have realized that my camera is waterproof and the phone is the same technology. We have a whole bunch of them and they hold up to construction abuse.

I have that one, just got it last month, I replaced their old model. My old one was beat(2-1/2 years old), dropped it to many times and the only problem was the battery catch broke but that is all. the phone works great. I liked the old compass better than this new one. It's water resistant because all the openings are covered with a gasket. I don't text much so it suits me just fine.

I have one that replaced my boulder. It would be a much better phone if it wasn't refurbished. But I do like the waterproof aspect of the phone. I keep mine on me pretty much at all times especially when we swim out to rocks. Just for for that added safety reasons. It even takes pictures underwater!

Go to your main menu and look for backup assistance. sign up then you can back up all your contacts etc from your old phone. When you get your new phone sign in and do a back up you'll have all your contacts within seconds.
