Default keeping my BB Storm in my car

Please Login to Remove!

I plan to buy the Storm as soon as it comes out, but I have a question. I have to keep my phone in my jeep while I am at work (or I have to leave it at home) so would it be better to turn the phone off to help save the battery (I live in Hawaii so it hot all the time) or can anyone think of a way to get it cool in my jeep.

Please tell me where your car is parked and leave the doors unlocked.

Keep it in a cooler with an ice pack?

The only concern I would have would the ice cooler is moisture getting into the device. Make sure it is sealed in a plastic bag.

I presume the ice pack was a joke! Don't do it!!! Just put it under your seat and it will be fine!

If you want, you can borrow my dog Roofus (see avatar at left) He takes a dim view of uninvited vistors entering my truck cab!

You can always sneak the phone into work, in a bodily orifice... just a thought.

The only problem with that would be if he has to go through a metal detector to get through security.

Try explaining that one to your supervisor.

Or when your having a work relatied conversation with your Supervisor you begin to get a phone call....try covering up that one while waiting for the phone to stop viberating..that would be embarrasing
