IS the samsung galaxy s designed to short circuit?

I have been studying the build of the samsung galaxy s. It seems like if the phone falls into any amount of water, it is bound to short circuit. The opening in the back for the speakers is the biggest flaw. We all know samsung won't fix a phone that comes in touch with water. Is my theory good?

Unless a phone is designated as weather resistant, why would any manufacturer service the device if it was water damaged?? Your question makes absolutely no sense.

But isn't it unfair for mobile companies to not repair phones which are damaged due to a few drops of water contact? In fact, they won't even look if the water indicators are positive these days. These phones cost so much money but they're not designed to handle simple things like taking a little rain.

It would be no different if you accidentally poured water into the keyboard of a laptop computer or any other electronic device. As I mentioned, unless the device is sold as weather proof such exposure isn't warrantied.

but isn't the body over-exposed when there is an opening at the bottom ( like the speakers in this case)

Expand it to include all non-waterproof units by all makers.

Not much new here and easy to explain. Since most of us do not need waterproof units we can avoid the higher costs.
