Retrieving information

Good points about the potential to retrieve information from passengers cellphones, laptops, tablets, etc.

I am curious if any telecomms folks on the forum could comment on the likelihood of being able to retrieve such information after what is likely to be months underwater at great pressures. We all know that FDRs and CVRs are "hardened" in such a way as to enable this (e.g. AF447) but I imagine that commonly used memory in such consumer products might be considerably more fragile. Thoughts ?
