that's true. The first thing to do if you get water on the phone, is turn it off and put it in a warm but dry environment for a few hours. Ultimately, if the water has obviously penetrated the phone, it should be dissambled to allow all components to dry adequately.
One should NEVER turn a phone on when it is suspected to have water in it, as the act of turning the phone on can fry the pcb, rendering the phone useless, where letting it dry first can avoid any damage completely.
However if the owner of the phone has no reason to think the phone has had water damage, and if the repair centre can't show conclusively that it does have water damage, then I don't see any reason why the owner should be denied a warranty repair or replacement.

check this, take you sim out, now look near the back of the sim holder (The inside of the phone) there should be a white small pad there, if its not white then its had water damage.

Weird. With my W800 I've taken calls in the rain. I regularly put it in a pretty small bathroom when I shower and it always gets rather steamy in there. I've left it next to a window over night before, I believe. It still works like the champ of a phone that it is!
Sorry to hear about your loss

Yes, I find the K750 quite tough. Whoever posted about leaving on window sill etc, well yes that's common sense, but just because you don't doesn't mean you will get water damage, it just means it can if you are unlucky.
But I use my phone in the rain occassionally, sweat on it, etc and have never had a problem.
As far as the white spot goes, I've only ever seen that on motorola phones - my K750 doesn't have one. Such methods will only tell if the phone has been dropped in water, it can't tell whether a small amount of water has penetrated the screen or keypad.

There should be a white patch on the battery as well. This is also an indicator for liquid. Bearing in mind that it is still a battery. But there is also another few indicators for liquid ingress inside the casing usually.

Just checked my W800 for the white patches. Found them at the back of the sim holder as well as on top of the battery, near the contacts. Almost tempted to put a drop of water on them to test if they really work!!

tell yu what guys..I don;t buy this Water Damage Logic ever...See this is how I had 3 cases for my point..!
1) My first phone was My dad passed down Nokia 3210..I happliy used it from 2002-2003...When I used to Have a Bath in the winters..I used to have the phone with me in the Loo..So with steam running in the air..I had the Phone IC going Kaput...and its non servicebilty by NOKIA led me to shift to SE..! So I agree maybe this was Water Damage Case...!
2) When I bought my Z 600- I carried on the same activity..and lasted me a couple of months..Before other problems cropped in like poor signal...software hang etc..Like I had said in my Z 600 problems thread. So Don't think water damage was the culprit.
3) Then came along my Precioussss...Now this survived me long enough..however I happened to visit an Hill Station and on coming down had got stuck in rain..when I got back home..I noticed water drops inside my LCD screen..SO opened the phone...found it running fine..just all wet..So I used the Hair-Dryer to dry it out and after a day of not using it..She still's run pretty..And Yes I broke the LCD later on so got that changed..So Not Neccsarily Water Damage actually Damages the phone...!
regards,

Honestly, I have taken my k750i in the shower, and don't exactly remember how many times I touched it with wet hands. Bottom line, it's still running new, save the joystick problems.
May be, the next generation of SE cell phones certify waterproof

A little fun fact from last year:
The Swedish mobile phone magazine "Mobil" tested different types of mobiles just to see how much moisture they could handle. SE K700i got better results then the waterproofed Nokia, (can't remember the name of the phone)
I have also had problem with my K750i, it has been in contact with moisture, say the thing on the battery. And it quite often freezes.
