You know this from experience?
I do tech support on Blackberries. I get calls like that...
Ha! A Jello Blackberry surprise. Haven't tried that one yet.
In my experience, Blackberries are practically indestructible. My old
6710 was dropped on concrete more times than I care to admit, and always
came up smiling.
A few months ago, I doused it with hot coffee (four-shot Americano,
cream and one sugar). I very quickly removed the battery, then
disassembled it (the Blackberry, not the battery) and soaked it in
distilled water for an hour or two. I blew it dry with compressed air,
reassembled it, and it worked just fine.
Another time, I was at the park with my son, on the swings. I jumped off
the swing and into the sand-pit, but on the way, my BBerry slipped out
of its holster and ended up under my foot. It went face-down into the
sand, and because Murphy was in effect, I landed right on it. My heel
slid the battery door off and drove the whole thing a couple of inches
into the sand. A little judicial use of dry air and some gentle tapping
on a table-top to dislodge grains that got into the keyboard and it was
almost as good as new.
