This is exactly the kind of experiment we wouldn’t encourage anyone to try at home. Especially with a hot new gadget like the Nokia N97. Better let others do it and just watch the result. That’s exactly what the guys at N97Geeks.com did and the N97 somehow survived. The screen seems to be working although it still has water underneath it 2.5 hours after the water immersion.

The Nokia N97 is not officially waterproof but it can handle it pretty well if you let it dry properly. Just make sure you only drop it in water by mistake and you should be fine. And if you’re purchasing a $700 phone you might consider some insurance plan for it.
