I also would take a Nokia, but they are not water proof!

I've showered at the beach with my nokia in the pocket of my bathing suit. It was fine. My nokia has fallen out of a moving vehicle. I drop it several times a day. It's been run over by a bicycle.

The thing is a rock.

Same experience here. Nokia phones (esp. basic ones -- the less buttons the better) are virtually indestructible.

:-) Then, I'll buy a Nokia to go to the beach.
