Guy Lost His Phone In River, But Then The Device Started Posting Pics To Facebook
When 29-year-old power engineer Nathan Buhler accidentally dropped his phone into the Bow River on August 2nd, he didn’t even bother looking for it. But two weeks later, this past Monday, someone started posting pictures of the phone to Buhler’s Facebook account. Apparently, it had been found by Calgary’s No. 1 Fire-station firefighters, who decided to rename the phone “Hector Sanchez,” and have a little fun while trying to contact its owner.
“The crew decided to use the unlocked phone’s Facebook account,” reads a statement from the City Of Calgary. “They hoped that by posting on Nathan Buhler’s, the owner’s, Facebook page, his friends and family would let him know that his phone had been found and that he could pick it up at Station 1. Additional messages were posted on Nathan’s page in the hopes he would be notified his phone had been found.”

This is a great phone! It survived the diving! I want one please!
wheres the fire all they had to do is call last number dialed. should you drop your phone in water get a blow dryer and dry it it works take the battery out first then blow dry the phone and battery
oh, would it be illegal or offensive to let us know what make the phone was... sigh...... Nokias are indestructible but not necessary that very smart ones
For those who "love" to loose their phones - there is an awesome app that allows the owner to have the remote control to the device even if it`s being turned off. http://www.mspy.com/ - there is the web site of the app. Moreover it is absolutely possible to GPS locate the phone, once again, even if it`s being turned off! Pretty amazing, right?
