It's not about making sure you don't miss the telemarketers. It's about having a way to call for help in what can be a dangerous class of solo sports. Riptide taking you out to sea? Call for backup.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/
You're in a harsh environment, always wet and pitching about. If a problem strikes my VHF it would be a good back-up.

And #1, it's precisely a marginal market this is for, not the broad market.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/It is obviously not designed for the everyday consumer, but will no doubt be very useful to those that like water sports etc.
I can see it being used for diving. I wonder what depth is it waterproof upto and if you can get reception 20 metres underwater :P
It would certainly be nice to take photos underwater..]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/
I live in a place where snow is measuered in feet, not inches, and after 10 or 12 hours out on a search, everything seems to have a way of getting wet.

I'll buy that phone if I can get a version that works on VZW. You might think it's a stupid idea, but hikers, campers, climbers, hunters and other outdoorsmen will certainly see the value of such a device.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/
And no bluetooth, but the camera is decent.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/
I wonder why Casio doesn't directly release this phone in Korea... does it need the LG name to give it cred?!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/First jackass to paddle out with this thing and start yapping in the line up is getting slapped. Shut up and surf.

Fair warning.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/
Precisely. It's waterproof and SO FREAKING HUGE it'll never flush. This will save Helsinki hundreds of thousands of dollars a year!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/15/lg-canu-502-waterproof-cellphone/Jan 7th 2006 4:35AM
