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.
