Opportunity calls ... from a cod

Have you seen this unlikely-sounding story in the news?

Nokia 1600 survives week in fish's belly, still makes smelly calls


 In a just-barely-believable story hosted up at The Sun, a businessman was both shocked and confused when his presumably sunk cellphone began ringing his lady friend around five days after he dropped it at sea. As the tale goes, a 25 pound cod managed to swallow the thing, and a pair of fishermen discovered it upon gutting their catch. The best part? The bloke who it was returned to is still using it, despite the fact that it literally reeks of rotten fish. 

See, Nokia will miss out on a terriffic opportunity if they choose to continue marketing this fairly-boring phone as their Model 1600.

Nokia should consider re-labelling their phone The Nokia Jonah instead.

Just sayin'.
