Well, I had to dodge sprinklers in the park yesterday and then my phone - DroidX didn't work (no sound). I figured it was toast as a drop of water must have gotten in the ear-plug....I tried just about everything but no go....so went to the verizon store expecting to have to get a new phone....but....they were able to get it working again...some weirdness with the earpiece jack I guess....even though I'd tried plugging, unplugging etc....
Boy that Galaxy S III is lookin' good though.
Moral of the story? Take care with ereaders and water.

(and don't let the monkeys near them)
