Microwave Moto?

LOL. How does she like her v195? We're getting them a little by little at my store. Any complaints or Motorola glitches?

 

I wonder if they also have a picture of a washing machine with "Do not clean phone in washing machine."? You know the only reason they have the Do Not Microwave message is that someone tried it, started a fire & sued them.

Some people need some common sense...

 

LOL, that's awesome. We're offering that phone for free. Too bad we only have a little in stock. Good, I feel good when I sold that v195. It looked like a pretty solid phone. Glad to see that it is.

 

Ahh... Cool! Finally some WAers have held and played with this phone. It has been getting some good reviews over a phonescoop. I was tempted to pick up the V190 when Wal-Mart had them for GoPhone for a short time. They look like they were more inline with the V300 and higher up Motos, then the older cheap V1XX & V2XX phones.

 

That is good to hear. I recommended the v190 & v235 to someone over at SU from the little I read and saw of them, I'm glad I did. Even though the posta after mine had to people saying how Moto is crap. :loony:

 

Damn... the microwave was always my first choice for drying out my phone... :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

 

This is a little OT, but all I can think of is the time a few years back where David Letterman called the "GE Answer Center" to see if it was ok to put a plate of GE lightbulbs in a GE microwave oven. They said no, but he did it anyway. Great TV.

Why, yes it is! It's not like Moto never made any good phones, and the other manufactures never made any of those crappy phones.

 

I would like to add the V180 to your list with mixed feelings... The V180 was never a great phone, but my niece did drop hers in a pond and it still works just as good as it ever did over a year later so does this make it better?

Isn't there an urban legend about some person in the US drying their cat or dog in the microwave? A few people at work in Cologne have asked me about that story several times

While someone may have, it wouldn't take an incident to get a manufacturer to put a line like that in the manual all it takes is rumor of something happening. With how lawsuit happy people are it's all about CYA CYA CYA, assume people have no common sense and CYA CYA CYA!

 

That would be an excellent call to hear.

I still wish I had a recording of a call I got when I was working part time on a help desk.
This Rep. just got their Laptop back from our company for repairs & was running late for a flight, he threw it in his bag & took off. When he got to his destination he pulled out the laptop & he forgot he had a bunch of banana's in the bag & they got crushed by the laptop. Well the banana's ended up mushed in his LT keys & fan vent holes as well as his CD drive.
I had to put him on hold a few times, so I wouldn't laugh while on the phone with him.

 

I would think it's a lot safer to use a blowdryer to dry a wet V3 .

 

At least no one has thought about using the drier to dry their phones. :browani: :loony:

 

That sounds like a great idea! Just use a pair of jeans. Insert the phone in a pocket & wrap into a ball. :loony:

 

That we know of yet. I am sure someone out there tried this & won't admit it.

 

We have a manual at work for Substation Entry guidelines and so forth as well as one for CSX Roadway Worker Safety, both have common sense rules such as don't stand in front of a moving train or don't grab live electricity conductors. The sad truth of it is, all these manuals are written in blood, ie. for every rule there's been someone to break it to get it written, it's how unspoken rules become spoken. I'm sure someone nuked their phone and wanted a replacement but why anyone would nuke electronics and expect them to work is beyond me

 

I once fried a digital camera with a 12 volt battery from a UPS because it was a turd and Best Buy wouldn't fix it under their extended warranty. I fried it till it didn't work at all, then they took care of it...
