time for our torture test of the Nokia Lumia 1020 now the test I have in mind today isn't the most likely occurrence but given that it's crush season and given the theme of this week's show I thought we would conduct our pressure and moisture test with something special a little crush of my own I want you to know this it's kind of a lifelong dream of mine the lifelong dream didn't involve the phone but it's pretty awesome anyway okay get in there phone you need to just come you know what you cheat a little bit in Barry put that down in there okay I hope it isn't like crack this is super squishy guys I'm making Windows Phone wine 1020 vintage it's kind of slippery bones getting a little slippery you can see splashing alright I'm just gonna let it marinate for a minute grape juice on my hands okay let's rescue it all right pretty wet I can't do anything with his phone until I rinse it so sorry dude you're getting a double dunking huh okay right work okay let me just remind you again that I know perfectly well that I'm not supposed to try to turn the phone on at this point but here I go okay I felt a vibration but I'm not seeing much in terms of the screen definitely does not want to come back on so I'm gonna try to dry it out well oh wait it's restarting you can do it little nokia don't worry I'll try you out I'll try you later just show us what you got buddy Windows Phone it's on look at that I'm gonna go to the gallery I want to see if it was recording okay it looks like we may have done some damage to the camera which is kind of a tragedy although to be honest I think I'm gonna do more damage to the camera because you didn't think I was gonna leave out the drop test to do so now my phone is all sticky and it's starting to attract bees so I feel like I need to get rid of it Oh No my phone fell some water splashed out all around it and grape juice got a little dirty dirts now turning to mud otherwise gonna really see much damage at all I think we should try that again a lot of water came out that time no physical damage but I can see a little bit of a dent right here but listen the great thing about these Nokia phones is that they're made like absolute tanks I really believe that if something's gonna take it out it's gonna be the water well the wine mm-hmm and that's it but we are gonna try to dry it out and we'll check back in I'm pulling for this little guy I like the yellow so here is the bag of rice which the 1020 has been marinating in for several weeks now I took it out though earlier today and I've been charging it all day so let's see if I can get it to come on first I have to see if I can remember which one of these buttons that are totally unlabeled is the power button I think it's the middle one it seems like that button doesn't even depress anymore okay there we go nothing let's try the bottom button nothing there now while it was charging the little windows light was blinking and at one point it sort of restarted itself and gave me the Windows Phone logo and then said that the battery was dead but I think what it really meant unfortunately was that the entire phone is dead it was a valiant effort but even the pretty tough Nokia Lumia 1020 cannot survive being made into one you
