I know how that is! I droped my very first Storm in the freakin' TOILET! After I pee'd in it at that lol!!!!! I was so PISSED! (pun inteded lol)
I take mine in the bathroom all the time...I'm actually surprised I haven't dropped mine in. I hope I didn't just jinx myself!
As for the Alias, it could be worse. The Alias was the most durable and reliable phone I've ever owned. Mine looks like it's been to h3ll and back, but I keep it around as a backup because it still functions perfectly. I know it's not the same as a BlackBerry, but at least it makes phone calls and the bluetooth functions properly on it...lol!
