This is a complicated matter to wash away any sticky liquid you may have in the keypad. You have to open the casing smoothly with exact screwdriver and unlock the front cover without breaking any locks or make any scratch to your phone and then wash the motherboard side keypad very carefully with only not too wet cloth and then the outerside keypad as usual. It might fix your problem.

But if you're not that much techy-man you should change the pad.

What are some popular brands of sports drinks and which is the best?

There are three brands that dominate the market for sports drinks: Gatorade, Powerade, and Vitamin Water. I would assume that Gatorade is the highest grossing out of the three, although I prefer Vitamin Water

I dropped my blackberry 8520 and the screen has a line straight down the middle!!! i cant see anything..WHAT TO DO? the screen is white also

Sounds like you have a broken LCD screen. Somebody needs to open your blackberry to replace it. Go to your provider, they might replace the phone for you. If they refuse and If you want somebody else to do it for you go to Blackberry Repair. If you want to do it yourself, here is a Blackberry 8520 Repair Guide that shows how. Try to look for the Blackberry Javelin repair guide, it is very similar.

Dropped my storm in water :/

The best way to get any and all moisture out of the phone and out of under your screen, put it in a bowl of rice(uncooked) and it will soak up all the humidity. I did that with my blackberry and it worked awesome. However I can't get my buttons to work, I took it apart, but it is all dry.
