can someone decipher his message for me?

I think I can decipher his Ebonics. I think he is saying: Dont get your phone wet because there is a watermark sticker inside the battery compartment, that changes from white to red when it comes in contact with water and then Sprint wont warranty it.

But, Who doesn't know this already anyways?

DONT USE YOUR PHONE IN THE RAIN!

well, I've looked all over my battery compartment. Where might this strip be? I can't seem to find it.

two places on the touch, upper right hand corner and bottom towards the middle right. Wow major breaking news!!!!! That was almost as exciting as a new official ROM or another fine No2Chem release!!!!

TEP, or ERP insurance will cover that with a deductable, call Signal at 1-888-352-9182 or Asurion at 1-800-584-3666 to make claim.

I've sold wireless for about 16 years now, and that is a fairly common practice on most phones today. Most phones have at least two watermark stickers. One on the battery, and one inside the back cover somewhere.

Whenever i get a new phone, i CAREFULLY remove those stickers and place them in a little baggie in my safe. Ever need to return the phone for warranty, i just glue them back on.

If my phone gets wet and toasted, I'll throw it in a lake and make a lost phone claim, pay the $50 deductible and get a new phone. Same goes for a scratched up touch screen or a a bad ROM. Just toss the phone and and make a lost phone claim, That's what you pay for the insurance for.
