Default 7250 survived 4 months snow, water, mud

Please Login to Remove!

I lost my 7250 in November. I had no idea where though.
It was during the first HUGE snow storm.
I looked for it the next day to no prevail.

So today 4 months later, it was found. I found it on the side of my house.
It went through rain, snow, sleet, mud freezing... EVERYTHING imaginable.

Attached is the picture of it after it was found.

I cleaned it up, blew air in it as I knew it was pretty dry anyways.

Plugged it in, let it charge 3 hours. IT WORKS!!!!

EVERYTHING is still on it, games, contacts and calender. Date and time are correct also.

After I lost it though I gave up and got a 8703e but hell this proves they can last through the harshest of winter in Wisconsin.

I think I should write to RIM and express my feelings. Whatcha think?

Wirelessly posted (blackberry 950)

That's a pretty good electronics survival story

I'd email that story to rim as a testimony of a great product
