I have a nexus one you can borrow. Used to be registered on T-Mobile.
Perfect... somehow I thought you might have a stash of those things!
I'd call you tomorrow to rendezvous but all my phone numbers got wet!
Oh wait! Right there in your signature line!

I dropped my iPhone in my pond while cleaning the pump filter...
fished it out within 10 secs, it was still on, running fine, no
obvious intrusion of water... but just to be safe I powered it
off... driving into town minutes later, I noticed it had powered
back up... so I powered it down (again)... and it immediately
powered/booted itself *again*! Water shorting the power button?
I went ahead and tried it's phone function and the speaker was
not working... but bluetooth did... then I sent a text... then I
powered it off again... and within seconds, it was booting itself
back up! Half an hour later it shut itself down and hasn't been
back up since. I put it in a bag of rice overnight (conventional
wisdom for drying things without an official dessicant)... still dead.
Now I need a 5-lobe screwdriver to defeat Apple's insistence that
I not open the case without their lawyers present... I suppose
they would rather I sent it to them so they can say "!not under
warranty, water alert!" keep it for weeks and charge me an arm and
a leg to clean any fouled contacts, maybe replace the battery, and
then maybe decide I need a new logic board.
So anyone have a 5 lobe (tiny, tiny, miniscule, tiny) screwdriver
for this purpose that they can loan me?
How about a GSM android phone to borrow while I order up a
screwdriver and battery and a bucket of luck? Or advice on what
(used) model to pick up on Craigslist? Anyone have any experience
with the "Cocoa"? It is apparently a "dual SIM"...
Are GSM Androids unlocked by default (seems reasonable.. but...
?)... is it an easy unlock?
I knew I needed an OtterBox!
