This is probably the strangest cell phone story to come around, reported by The Sun via Ananova.

Andrew Cheatle thought it had been swept out to sea after it slipped from his pocket.

But a week later his girlfriend's mobile rang and it was fisherman Glen Kerley saying he'd found the phone in a 25lb fish, reports The Sun.

Andrew got the handset back, dried it out - and amazingly it still works.quotesmarksleft.jpg

Update: According to an official Nokia blog, Nokia Conversations, the phone in the fish was a Nokia 1600: We can see this becoming a selling point down the road. Nokia 1600 for fishermen?
