I bought one of these unlocked from an importer. Been using it on AT&T for a couple weeks now, and it works great. The screen certainly looks nicer than the iPhone's Retina screen, and the camera takes beautiful conditions as long as there's a reasonable amount of light. It also has a decent battery, lasting me about one or two days on a charge. However, one thing I don't like is that the "charging theater", which pops up some multimedia options when you pop the phone into the dock, seems to have a broken YouTube button (the other options are the photo gallery, the browser, and NotTV/One-Seg, neither of which work in the US, though I'm told that One-Seg works in Brazil). Also, the 3D takes a bit of getting used to, and the system lags a bit, even after upgrading to ICS (absolutely make sure you do this when purchasing it- battery life improves quite a bit). All in all, though, it's definitely worth the $350-ish I paid for it.
And while I haven't tried soaking the phone, it will withstand a long shower just fine.
