A feller in Oklahoma is crediting his iPhone with saving his life after a close brush with hypothermia. According to his posting on Apple support forms, the guy was cleaning up his backyard a few days ago after a bad ice storm when a tree fell and knocked him into a half-frozen pond.

After crawling out of the pond and realizing he had a broken foot that would limit his ability to get help, he grabbed for his iPhone, which worked fine after the dunking, allowing him to summon his wife and emergency help. Upshot: He's a much bigger iPhone fan now:

Yes, it got wet, yes, I know my warranty is gone, but it's worth it knowing this phone worked. I am buying another one for the wife.
