Thanks, everyone. I guess I didn't have to settle for the 5" TV screen...

HMmmmmmm........
Are we talking Plasma or projection here? I'm sure the guys over in the tech area have field tested both but I seem to remember a review that stated the projection types tend to nose dive at the bottom of the wave, too much drag I believe
So your probably better of with the plasma, just get a HDTV ready one!

Actually I prefer LCD, to keep the heat buildup down.

Does your cellphone work when being splashed on the surface, or do you have some sort of auxilliary splash protection such as a plastic baggy?r37691:

They do make waterproof baggies for phones. At the 2004 Dema in Texas they had waterproof bags for almost anything. You might want to go to the Dema show to keep updated on the new gear. You might even pick up a few free samples for yourself.

how do the phones handle the pressure? Any problems? The waterproof bags are great. We take our radios with us when we're snorkeling and have family on the shore. We can hear them and even talk right through the bags, even though they are fairly heavy. Surprised me, but worked great!
I'm thinking about adding one of these to my pocket!!! sounds like a great idea!

You first put the phone in the "Baggie" & then in the OMS 660' depth rated container.
I use the OMS EDS system. Verizon coverage, Motorola phone. You do use it only when it won't get soaked. (Common Sense) No problems yet.
Completing the dive, Where everyone does good - ok
Having hot pizza on speed dial after a cold dive - Priceless.

If there is no cell coverage; grill burgers, or something hot.
