I had my Nokia 6260 dropped in a pail of water and I bring to the shop unfortunately they can’t fix it. But if you have Fujitsu FOMA F704i, you won’t have to worry about dropping off water. FOMA F704i is a waterproof clamshell that can withstand maximum 3 meters depth in water. You can bring this for swimming, but for scuba diving NO. It features the FOMA World Ring (use it worldwide), a 1.3MPx camera, the DCMX ID (bank recognition), MP3 player and Napster to Go.

Sanyo Easy Streetnav NVM-4070 GPS [..]
Sanyo, not the first name you think of when you dream of GPS navigators, just came out with the NVM-4070, equipped with a 4-inch, 16:9 touchscreen, a SiRF Star III receiver, traffic, text-to-speech for reading off street names, 1.8 million points of interest, Video/Photo/MP3/WMA playback and an FM transmitter to get the nav and music channeled through your car stereo.
It also has Bluetooth for phone functionality, including address book sync and speakerphone. (I assume when a call comes in, it shows callerID and pauses your music, but don’t quote me on that.) It has an SD card slot and a lousy 64MB of internal storage. My bet is at $500, it’s not a big HDD. There’s a $400 version (NVM-4050), which loses auto-rerouting, traffic, photo and video playback and the FM transmitter.
Colorware Colors Up iPhones in Style
Want your iPhone in a color other than silver? Apple can't help, but Colorware's got you covered. You saw what a good job they did on on Xbox 360, so there's no reason to think their quality will be anything but spectacular for the iPhone. You can send in your existing iPhone and have them color it up for $149, or buy a pre-colored 4GB for $649 and a 8GB for $749. Not a bad deal if you really want to get an even bigger head start on differentiating yourself from other cellphone users. But if you're being cheap, you can always get a $48 back replacement.
Samsung’s SGH-730i (i-mode slider) coming to Europe
We're not sure why you'd want a universal remote that actually has to flip open to use, but we're not going to tell you people how to live your lives. In the chance that you do, GE's $18.99 Flip Unviersal Remote has the standard power, channel and volume buttons on top, with the numbers, video modes and DVD playback buttons inside. Cool, yes, but not all that practical. Your kids will have fun using it as a Star Trek communicator though.

IceBar Waterproof iPod Nano Speaker
The iceBar moves the party stereo from the poolside into the pool, securely holding your iPod in a waterproof polycarbonate case. It floats, too, though it has a wrist strap if you're worried about it drifting off. The nano's clickwheel, power and mute functions are all accessible with the case on. The iceBar does have one drawback, though.
Sounds like it's a little bit of a battery hog since it burns through three AA batteries after 18 hours of continuous play. Still, if you have either the first- or second- generation nano and often find yourself poolside (and with people who share your taste in music), the iceBar might help get through the summer—that is, if developer Atlantic didn't have plans for their speaker case to be released this holiday season. The iceBar should cost around $70.
Security Ring Keeps Nosy Co-Workers at Bay
Instead of always having to remember to lock your desktop when you go for a whiz at work, this Security Ring by designer Yang Hai takes care of all of that for you. You put the ring on one of your fingers, and when it gets a certain distance away from the base station (which is connected to your computer), all your programs get locked. We've set up our machines to do the same thing with Bluetooth cellphones, but a ring is much easier to remember. Too bad it's only a design, because we could see ourselves using this for other purposes as well.

DIY Custom ringtones on the iPhone
Black & White iPhone Skin
I don't even own an iPhone, and I'm already sick of its mass produced, family friendly, there is no poverty and the world can be simple icons. Meanwhile, I'm digging this black and white version one user created and dared to load onto his iPhone—risking not only his precious tech, but the fragile, tacit blessing of Steve Jobs, too. While the process isn't exactly drag 'n drop, it's not straight coding either. Using Jailbreak software, you crash your (friend's) iPhone and replace the icon.png files with anything of your choosing. Once you are done loading the (Windows 95) icon set, just restart the iPhone and everything should be functioning fine (your friend will never talk to you again). Hit the link for the full process and free black & white icon collection…just don't come crying to us if you screw up and flush $600 (of your former friend's money) down the drain.
LG Shine Gets All Moody & Sexy
LG are set to add to their ever-popular Black Label Series by releasing the LG Shine in a new, sulky Titanium Black finish. To save any confusion at the checkout they're releasing this model as the 'LG Shine Titanium Black.'
The feature set remains unchanged from the original and it is planned for release at the end of July 2007. Initially it will be made available within the UK, France, Netherlands and Austria (no stateside plans yet).
The Shine used to prance about like Paris Hilton, driving too fast and pissed with the ramifications. The new makeover, however, wouldn't batter an eyelash at a stretch inside; instead it would take down the system and look suave doing it.
Guitar Hero for Mini Mes
If your manhood is less than 2cm; (yeah, I went metric on you), chances are your hand span is not too great either. Help is not far, Frodo, as XFPS have entered the niche market with their super-tiny Guitar Hero controllers.
Not only could this possibly be the cutest accessory to date that didn't have the Hello Kitty branding across it, it will also brighten the little lives of all those in Middle Earth. Screw the ring, throw this around your neck friends and rock on! Though it may at first seem to be somewhat of a gimmick, these tiny guitars are expertly crafted from real wood and the whammy bar is genuine metal, no less. The controllers are fully functioning with backlit buttons and are currently available for the PS2 and XBOX 360 at $69.90 each. The XBOX 360 version isn't compatible out of the box; you'll have to invest in an adapter at $69.90. The price of small time gaming, unlike the size, will be daunting to all but the most serious enthusiasts.
FairUse4WM - Strip DRM, Strip!
A new edition of FairUse4WM has been released, allowing for Zune Marketplace WMAs to be stripped of their DRM so you can have fair use rights your purchases—copying to other devices at will. Think of it as a Zune without the Zune…or better yet…iTunes DRM-free without the Mac vs. PC bickering. For XP and Vista.
Trouble with the ladies? Well it's not for your lack of trying, I'm quite certain. Women who aren't interested in World of Warcraft can't be worth your time anyway. Still, if the constant pang of rejection is starting to takes its toll and you need a hand, look no further, Google Eau de Toilette will have you sorted. It is guaranteed to make you more appealing than Brad Pitt dosed in pheromones at a fantasy, panty pillow-fight party. If you had problems with women in the first instance your sure to have them after too; fending off the horny hoards of scantily clad, busty babes won't be easy. Get your bottle now! That is, er, if you can find any…
Jellio Lite Table, Candy For Your Brain
Jellio might sound like the name of a super addictive confectionary that in surplus will give you the mother of all stomachaches. Rest assured that it is in fact the company behind the very chic Lite Table (their spelling, not ours).
The table comprises the solid structure base with 100 large acrylic pegs inset; the pegs can be rearranged to live out your wildest acrylic peg rearrangement fantasies. As if that was not enough to satisfy you, the magic happens when a small light source is placed under the table. The light shimmers through giving you the feeling that perhaps magic mushrooms won't be needed to reach your oh-so euphoric high. When you come round to your senses and realise that you've just spent $600 for the said privilege, you may, however, reconsider your recent drug-free decision. A shame then you'll have no money left over to indulge your sorrows.
PSP Clone is a Torrent Playing Machine
Do you dream of a portable media player that has NES, SNES & SEGA MD/SMS emulation whilst also handling DIVX & XVID in its stride? Do you also dream of having a Playboy mansion and a bigger willy? Well, on the first account at least this is sure to help: Witness the thoughtfully titled 'Portable Media Player'. More after the jump.
If the $109 Portable Media Player were a tin of sardines, it would be crammed so tight with salty fish you wouldn't be able to get the lid on.
Thankfully, instead of salty fish the PMP supports all of the following: (deep breath): MP3, WMA, FLAC; Emulation - NES, SNES, SEGA MD/SMC; Picture viewing and Video playback support for AVI, MPEG-4, DIVX, XVID.
This bad boy further comes with a 1.3MP camera with an option for VHS quality video recording, 1GB onboard with an SD slot which supports up to a further 4GB. With a 3.6" screen and a decent battery, (20hrs music / 6hrs video), I can more than happily look past the Tomy toys outer casing.
That aside one reviewer really sums up this media beast better than I ever could:
"The products have many functions which make me feel more exciting! "
U Bend…Books Become Bookends
The U Bend is a book rack with a trick: it creates its own bookend for you. Impossible you say? The work of sorcery, and even black magic, you wonder? Nope. The bar is bent so one book is recessed below the others, allowing many books to lean on just one. But for $95, we wish that it included a second bookend.
