It's got a rating. Not sure if water resistant or proof. They didnplan for it to be in rainy environments. Also, phone is modular and repairable by design.

    It is rated as water resistant, capable of withstanding a jet of water.

    Repairability depends on what breaks. If water getting into the phone fries the CPU, it does not seem fixable. Glancing at the site, I could not find a part on sale, probably because the cost of a replacement part would cost almost as much as replacing the phone.
