I'm here, albeit not all that regularly.

They will pry the i500 out of my cold, dead hands if I had anything to say about it. I have one running (and I think sync'ed now) and a back up.

Happy to help with any spare thin batteries cluttering up anyone space. I was a good Samaritan and sent one of my spares to someone with that funky replacement thing.

I keep an eye on other phones out there for that "just in case" day.

For the swimming phone -- try letting it dry out for several days -- without turning it on. Mine took a dip and is OK.
