Water Damaged Curve 8310

Hello!

 

Unfortunately I put my Rogers Curve 8310 through the wash a couple of weeks ago, and no amount of rice and blow-drying could save it.  I've met people who have swam for half and hour and saved their BB's, but I figure it had no chance after soap and a spin cycle.

 

My question is this:  Does RIM have any program for replacing water damaged phones?  My best friend recently dunked his iPhone 3Gs in a toilet and they sent him a box the next day, he popped it in, and a week later he received a brand new 3Gs in the mail for $229 cdn, which is a hell of a lot more palatable than the $800 retail price.

 

Thank you!

Not that I'm aware of. I don't know if water damage is covered under warranty. If you have insurance on your phone then you should be able to pay the detuctible to get another BlackBerry. If you contact your carrier they would be able to tell you.
