hello. first of all..... u give me hope..... mine fell in clean water today for just about 3 seconds or so, and by the 10th second or so.... i pulled the battery off it to avoid shorting..... if yours still works after being through a washing machine cycle for a few minutes in dirty and soapy water, i can expect mine to start :)
umm..... maybe they say it will soon stop working because they really DO want u to buy a new phone..... but they probably say it coz they believe the water must have damaged some parts like transistors or capacitors in the IC....... also.... they may believe that it still has some moisture deep within and that will finally kill your phone!
If you have heard the same statement from many ppl, i suggest u trade it off with someone before it does stop working.....
As for me, i believe it might just work for longer! Good luck!
