Less than two months after getting this phone with new service from Verizon, I had it in a leather case and went riding around with it. It started raining pretty hard. I had to ride home in the pouring rain. I get home, the phone is dry under my jacket and cover, but for some mysterious reason, data functions completely stop working. Completely. I try to connect to any service, and it says "Network authentication failed". I almost believe it has an internal moisture sensor that triggers some kind of malfunction after it passes a set point. Know why?After I started "hacking" it using BitPim and my $50 data cable to try restoring network access, I accidentally dropped it in a bucket of water below my desk. I yank it out, pull the battery out, and let it dry. After showing weird screens and malfunctioning for a few minutes (random keypresses, distorted screen, etc), it dried completely out and completely restored all functions -- except data!! Ironically, the exact same thing happened a few weeks later to the same result.To this day, over a year later, the phone still works for phone, text, camera, and modem connections to PC (only if I give the area code, though, otherwise the same effect as on-phone data occurs). Amazing. I'm happy with it, except for the previously mentioned problem about flip-open problems using the holder - it does flip open easily when using the holder. It's nothing more than a cosmetic detail, though. Unlike my previous phones I still like using this phone and I've been considering replacing it with a new model of the same type.Decent phone, but it seems rigged. That's about it.
