Can't hurt to try. However, I can tell you that a friend of mine has this phone:

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Anti-Shock-Waterproof--International-Flashlight/dp/B002ZFWH7W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354740406&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+water+proof+phone

I met him in Puerto Rico for dinner a few months ago. The first thing he did was tell me how great this phone was and said "watch this," immediately dropping it into his full glass of water. He left it there for a minute or so, pulled it out, and then threw it across the room, bouncing it off a concrete wall and across the concrete floor. He threw it again down a concrete sidewalk, went and picked it up, and called me from it. Not even a scratch- the screen was fine, and the phone worked just fine. That is the most amazing phone I have ever seen. It doesn't have all the fancy bells and whistles, but it is one heck of a durable phone.
