I had a nice new phone that i sort of accidentally dropped... into the toilet (it was clean). so as you might expect the phone didn't like that much, i pulled it out right away and pulled the battery. there is water sensitive sticker is on the battery that didn't get wet, its still white. so i turned the phone back on after it dried, everything worked just fine except the speaker, it was shot. so i called cingular, told them their phone was defective and i wanted a warranty replacement, they were cool with it and sent me a new one.
today I got the new phone and the old one started working again, the speaker doesn't sound quite as good as before, but still very good.
so heres the question. which one should i keep? the new one would be the obvious choice, BUT if they find out the phone went in the drink then i just bought myself a new phone. are there any water evident things inside the phone, or would they even bother to look? I have a few scratches on the screen and a not so great speaker any more, so its not as desire able as the new phone, but i don't want to get a $400 charge for a new phone on my next bill because they find water damage.
Does anyone know how things like this are handled, or been through something simular?
