Do you like spending a lot of time at the pool, and that's why you've been searching for the best method of speaking on the phone while you swim, which will leave both you and your phone intact? Well, if you haven't come across some miraculous solution yet, you might want to give a chance to the device you're about to see as follows, namely the Waterproof Floating Phone presented by the people from Hammacher Schlemmer since the first half of 2007.
The first element that guarantees (at least on a theoretical level) the fact that this device will resist the destructive action of the pool is its very body, made from waterproof plastic and featuring some rubber sides, which ensure a better grip. Moreover, the floating phone sports some pretty big buttons, made also from rubber, which makes them quite usable even in the dark, not to mention water. Quite obviously, these waterproofing features make it rather bulky, as the device measures around 19.68 cm x 17.78 cm x 10.16 cm, at a weight of around 907 grams.
The phone also sports an LCD display, a 10-number memory and a caller ID function with a 30-number memory (nevertheless, one requires a Caller ID subscription from the telephone company in order to take full advantage of this feature). Moreover, its 20-channel autoscan ensures the handset delivers clear reception during calls and emergency numbers can be programmed and dialed at a touch of a button.
The device works with a rechargeable internal battery, housed in a specially designed waterproof compartment. The recharging base has a handset locator button and provides multiple mounting options (either desk- or wall-mounted). Moreover, the floating phone can even be used by persons with hearing disabilities, since it’s compatible with hearing aids.
The Waterproof Floating Phone retails for around 80 US dollars, which is actually quite an affordsable price to pay for a device that will ease outdoors communications, not to mention the fact that it will certainly save users some money spent on repairing the phones dropped accidentally in the pool.
