I am thinking you are looking at $100 to replace through insurance if you really want it replaced. In that case there is some nice phones out and even more coming, I would put my $100 towards one of those. Just my .02
I somewhat expected that, one of my friends is one of those guys who has been through 7 or so phones, and as soon as he saw the red water damage he mentioned the $100 deductible and told me I was screwed. I figured I would just go over there and be honest with them, ask them if they can replace it, but if it would cost me anything I would just want to hang on to the one I have now (if apparently a water damaged working phone is the same value to them as a water damaged fried phone) because I am still happy with the way my phone works.

I don't really feel like BSing my way to a TP2 like alot of people I have seen on this forum. To be honest I'm fine with the TP (well, my working problem-free TP), but then again I wouldn't mind paying the $100 deductible if it gets me a TP2 as a replacement by some act of a higher power
