Not waterproof

I like waterproof phones so I can use them for navigation while out on the mountains in the rain. I am not sure how this makes me a narcissist.

Yes, I know there are waterproof cases available, but they're rather awkward, and not all are as waterproof as they should be.

Currently I have a Samsung A5, which was cheap and is waterproof. It's a great phone, but when I want to replace it I don't know what I will get; there don't seem to be any affordable waterproof phones any more. I was hoping the Pixel 3a would be.

Surely that is a Spanish omelette?

I'm trying to "not confuse this with what the Brits call a Spanish omelette", but first I'll have to work out what the difference is. It looks identical to a Spanish omelette to me (and not at all like a normal, non-Spanish omelette).

3d planetarium?

Surely all the astronomical objects are so far away that the images seen by your eyes are identical. What is the point of the 3d?
