sent my cell phone through the washer...
well, i'm a numb skull and didn't take my motorola v70 out of my pants pocket before sending the jeans through the washer. it doesn't work now. any chance i can repair this? if not, what parts might still work? the battery? the lcd? anyone have any experience in this kind of thing?

Try it again after a week. This is your best chance.
happens to the best of us.
Took it completely apart, set it aside for 5 days, and it was fine. Reception was a little shitty at first, but it ended up normal.

how do you like the v70?
it's okay at best. i bought it simply for its size and have found that it very nicely fits in to a pocket without any kind of bulk and remains mostly unnoticeable (hence running it through the wash on the other hand, if you want to do wireless web stuff it is a poor choice. it can only do a few lines of text, no color at all, and the phone itself has very few features (downloadable ring tones, etc). Also the feel of the phone is a little flimsy, perhaps cheap, but I find all motorola phones to be this way. The buttons are tiny of course and hurt the fingers and because the phone is so small the battery has very limited life compared to a t68i.
The good points are (were) the size...the cool factor wears off of course. Your friends will love it and be obsessed with the phone. Also, it has pretty great reception.
