If you have verizon, Try the casio gzone.It doesnt have the most options, but its waterproof and doesnt cost $500. On others positive reviews i got one this past summer . I took it with me in my dry top, tossed it in dish sinks, into friends beers , and some underwater photos and It still works like new.

On my 4th one due to water damage..... I've decided that there is no such thing as a waterproof phone. It ihas been good for small spashes, but one died just sitting in a wet pocket.

2nd made a few months, dies in a beer at the bar....... oops.
3rd also made it a few months, submerged a few times for short periods, eventually dies when I was walking the dog in a rainstorm for a little over an hour. should have put it in my waterproof coat pocket, but it was in by jeans.
I don't plan on getting the 4th one wet.
Don't get me wrong, its an OK water resistant phone, but you still need to take care of it. I think I just expected too much from the phone. Still much sturdier than most phones on the market.
