Today i was riding a quad and my phone got totally ruined from water damage. It is completely ruined and cannot be saved. My question is, i just got the droid and got insure for it but will they cover water damage? Or would i just be better off saying i lost it? Or am i fucked either way?

Try putting it in rice. You might be able to save it

verizon has been good to me.
but i would sill try to dry it out and try it no matter how long it sat there. and also try and clean it out, so it looks as little your fault as possible

if you have insurance i covers all types of damage along with theft.

If you didnt pay extra and just got the 30 day insurance included with the phone then probably not

I remember speaking with Alexander Graham Bell about an invention not dissimilar from the one of which you speak.

If you have it for Verizon, they will send you another phone but you have to pay 80-90$ for the new one.
