Your Phone At 48 Degrees Below Zero

At –55F (–48C), your phone’s dead, but unlike people, it can be revived. In fact, a Moto Krzr survived a bath in a –314.7F (–192.6C) bucket of liquid nitrogen.

    What about hot weather? Will a phone survive our heatwaves in the Aussie summer, where in certain locations (e.g inside a car) it can get to well over 60C in air temperature?

    uh, under -40º Celsius and Fahrenheit are the same (might not be true, can’t remember where I heard it)
