An apparently dependable source of handset churn,

My own stats: one lost on a sweaty Tokyo afternoon
when I stopped to pat some fountain water onto my
face; a second one in the toilet. Both from my
shirt pocket, of course. I guess I need to just hang it
around my neck, and simply endure the commodity-
fetishist stigma. "Keitai Pride" t-shirt optional.
Nice to know that 600,000 brits are as careless as I am.
(But 400,000 dropped them in their drinks? Must've
been some pretty shocking gossip, or some pretty
stiff drinks.)
