While new cell phones are always fun because we love gadgets, ruining them when a friend/coworker/etc. spills his or her morning latte all over it is somewhat less than satisfying. Sony Ericcson has managed to eliminate that inconvenience by releasing a completely waterproof cellphone in Japan. The
SO902iWP+ even receives calls underwater - although you can't actually speak into the phone that way. The phone also comes with an mp3 player and a 1.3 mega pixel camera. There is no word on whether it will be released in the US, but this would be the perfect phone to take on vacation, especially if you're going somewhere that you'll be spending a lot of time in the water, like a tropical resort.
