I have a BlackBerry Pearl 8100
I've screwed this thing over so many times, dropped down stairs, water spilled on it, pop, drinks, you know it and it has been done.
Yesterday I lost the phone.
I was being a moronic kid and tried to walk on what I thought was a 2 inch pond in someones BACKYARD. The bastard ignored to tell me it was 6 feet deep (Rich people >.>). I started with my left foot and the left side of my body fell in, all the way up to halfway up my chest (I'm about 5' 11"). Completely soaking my phone. I turned it off, and held it next to a heater in a car for an hour as we went to go sledding, left it in there and tried it. It turned on, but every key was messed up. Pressing the number 1 would get me *1+ or qq89.
That night, I went home and completely turned the phone off, took it apart all the way down to the motherboard in the phone, screen detached and all that. I let it sit there one day and BAM.
Keys all work, phone works perfectly. I mean my phone was COMPLETELY submerged in water. Completely. It still works. BlackBerry for life.
