Turns out the problem with sound was nothing to do with water, but something to do with the headset/earphone plug and the phone is working, but I think I'm going to upgrade to S III anyway and keep the old DroidX as a backup...
(unfortunately when I do, I will lose my unlimited data plan.
)
Just saw a "stress test" on the SIII and it was dropped in a tank of water and when dried out, still worked!
I think this is my next ereader tablet.

Boy that Galaxy S III is lookin' good though.
Moral of the story? Take care with ereaders and water.
