True story: Not thinking, my GoRABon tossed my 8910 to me while I was in a swimming pool. The phone sank at least 3 feet beneath the surface before I was able to "catch" it. I took the battery out and let it dry for a day. Sure enough, the phone worked just fine. After about a year, the only problem it had was "lens rot" on the camera due to having been submersed.
On a side note: I dropped my Verizon xv6700 from my 6+ feet of height onto a parking lot into a 1" puddle. The only physical damage was a 1mm scratch on the bottom. I let it dry for an hour and it was working again no problem.
Most delicate phone I've ever used was my Kyocera KX2 KOI.
