As long as it has not been switched when wet, once dried fully, it should be ok.  If it was on when it went in then I think a call to the insuracne is in order  :(

Don't think it is worth doing that ::) my excess would be more that the phone is worth, she is only 10 so just a cheepish one.... :y

Well I got chucked in teh water once with a PDA in my pocket, thankfully turned off at the time.  Stripped off all the battery, etc and put it on top of some radio battery charges for 48 hours.  Reassembled and it still works 5 years on  :y

my noika phone fell from my shirt pocket a lovely muddy trench, took back off, got the worse of the mud off and stood it up in living room, still working 12 months on, room temp should be fine, not point overheating it and frying its circuits.

Good news. Should this happen to anyone else, do as said & strip down as far as poss then put in in a bag of rice for 24 hrs, (uncooked, not the left over egg fried from the chinky!!). As the Cpn said this draws moisture out & you're more likely to have rice in the cupboard than silica stuff, although in John's case nothing would surprise me!
    Pot noodles tend to kill 'em though. On a night out in my then ERF many years ago the phone rang & vibrated itself off the dash straight into my bombay bad boy.

    Pot noodle:- one,
    Nokia       :- nil. ::)
