it wasn't even that wet...Chapman drooled on it before I realized he had it. I took it completely

it wouldn't let me answer it and I would have to call them back. There were a few other quirky
things as well, but it was officially toast.

Glad you could get a replacement and not set you back too much.
Were you able to get a new one too? I shouldn't complain, mine was pretty durable...I once dropped it down a flight of cement stairs, it then fell through the space between the stairs and fell another story to the ground, landing on concrete, and it didn't miss a beat. They just really don't like to get wet!!!

You're right about being durable as far as other things. I keep one of those
"skins" on mine, which helps keep it from breaking into 10 pieces when you drop it. That seems
to help. I did get another one, as luck would have it, I was eligible for a $100 rebate on a new
phone. I have a SIM card, but I did lose my texts and photos. That may be because of a setting
I have that doesn't save that stuff to the SIM card. I'll have to look into that.
The skins make it break into just two pieces. :P

You probably don't have the option of using your SIM card for txts and photos.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
