I spend my summers close to a lake, on a dock, or in a boat. I've dropped my work phone, an old motorolla startac (or been in the water with the phone on me) about a dozen times. I even keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol handy.
A bit of a ritual: pull the battery off, rinse it in alcohol, let it dry for a couple hours, and its good to go. But I've had some crazy things happen, like having the numbers in my phone book shift one posistion so they no longer match the names, etc. I don't have the heart to get a new phone that might not be as 'waterproof'.
