    Ok, I'll start with what seems to be the most common question on these types of threads, my pearl has been underwater. I got it out within probably a second and a half of it being in the water and immediately took out the battery and let it dry for a few hours, then I hit it with a blow dryer until the screen quit fogging up, probably ten minutes or so. That was a few weeks ago, and the only problem I had was the trackball would sometimes be a little stubborn and wouldn't click on an icon unless I pressed it just right, but even that cleared up. Now, a couple days ago I take my phone out of my pocket, and none of the keys work, not even the side keys. I tried taking out the battery for a while, but it didn't help. I took the phone apart and thoroughly cleaned all the contacts with alcohol and then a contact cleaner/connection performance improver, and the trackball started scrolling again, but no clicking, and still no other keys work. Nothing on the inside looked anything more than a little funky from being in my pocket, and it's all clean now.

    I'm baffled, what do I need to do?

    As a side note, I find it a little strange that the power/end call button works to turn the phone on, but doesn't work after that (or does the phone automatically power on when you replace the battery?)...

    Help Please!

    Well that really sucks. Mine went right away after I dryed it. I would try drying it again and you can always replace the keyboard membrane. Good luck
