All not lost if cell phone falls in toilet

This makes a real good case for using a Smart Phone or PDA phone with Windows Mobile. Why rely on the wireless carrier or the sim card to hold your information. In the business world today it makes sense to not to rely on someone else to back up your information. With Windows Mobile, all this is synchronized with MS Office Outlook. Not only do you have a back up, but by purchasing unlimited tethering data plans, you can also use many of the phones as a data connection to connect to the Internet with a Tablet PC when you are on the move. This is a great service and for those not needing a full service Internet card with their mobile units, this fits the bill! Sim cards are ok, but what happens if you lose the sim card? Something to think about...BD

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Lenny Salmon was text-messaging in a bar's restroom when he fumbled his cell phone into a toilet.
Along with trashing the $300 phone, he also lost hundreds of telephone numbers. On his new replacement phone, he's restored only about 12.
For some, it's not much of an issue. Users of "smart phones," such as Treos and BlackBerries, typically "sync" their phone content — phone numbers, e-mails, calendar items and other information — directly to their personal computer for storage.
Even those with less sophisticated phones can store their phone data on their PC, by way of software-based products such as Snap-Sync and DataPilot.
