Is there a trick to taking an underwater picture with the Kyocera Brigadeir?

Great phone but why can't I make the programmable@ key the camera shutter. You guys need to make a patch of some sort so I am able to take underwater photos. The touch screen just doesnt work underwater. iPhones have their volume button. What's the point in a waterproof phone that can't take pictures underwater?

So that if you drop it in water you don't damage it.

What's that have to do with it's ability to take a picture underwater?

Most accounts are that it doesn't do well with taking photos underwater.  Touchscreens generally don't like water.  It is also not advised to press buttons while underwater, since that can break the seal and allow water into the device.  that little rubber strip/seal is about all that keeps the water out.
