Ok so I'm on my 3rd or 4th storm. First time I got it replaced it was because I had dust under my screen. 2nd time was cause I think it got like a drop of liquid on it and was just totally bugged out. Now yesterday I was out with my parents and accidentally spilled my beer on my phone. Now I love the storm (which is why I keep getting it) but I do not seem to have any luck with this phone. It works fine now exept that its laggy, buggy. And the blackberry key does not work. Which is extremely. Important for everyday user of the phone. Do you guys have any ideas as to what I should do about this phone. Obviously I'm going to get it replaced but its such a PITA because they don't transfer anything but numbers and messages. And I have a diff theme and a bunch of 3rd party apps so I really do not like doing this. Any ideas / suggestions would be appreciated

Use DM to back up everything from your phone. Get your new storm, and get an OtterBox case for it. They aren't 100% waterproof, but are very close to it.
Can't help with the dust, and you should keep replacing until they give you a working one, but the water problems you listed were really your fault. So here are my suggestions:
1: ditch the Storm and get a G'zOne
2: carry your Storm in a zip-lock bag
The OtterBox Defender makes it really difficult for water or dust to get in your Storm. Plus, it puts the phone in a holster, so you don't carry it in your pocket (lint trap) or leave it lying out on a table while your drinking (********).
