man that sounds like luck of the draw. my last htc device which was tough bit the bullet just from humidity getting into the ear speaker.

 

almost all of my devices have survived water damage i think the part that is the weakest is the display panel. I've dropped like 3 phones in the river and like 2 Bluetooth speakers while drinking n rafting. all working still except my htc one x the screen is black but i can still log on it with adb and it still recognizes touch inputs.

 

Mine was the ZTE Merit, horrible device.
