MWC 2009: A very mucky hands on gallery

PHOTOS: i-mate 810-F smartphone

i-mate has launched the 810-F, described as the "world’s first complete lifestyle mobile to come with a lifetime warranty" and we were at the stand at Mobile World Congress to get a sticky hands on.

First it was orange juice, then tomato ketchup, then salt all washed off with some water. The end result? A phone that still works.

Unfortunately that orange version won't be available? There are only two available. One for the boss and the other for the chap that made it for him.

The phone will come with a lifetime guarantee.

The manufacturer claims that the phone is built to tough military standards meaning it can cope with extreme pressure, heat, cold, water and humidity as well as shock.

The device's working temperature ranges from a chilly -10 degrees C through to 60 degrees C.
