You need to try Silica Gel Packets to dry out your phone. There was a good article on associatedcontent.com that explains how to dry a wet cell phone, iPods, or any electronics.
You need to place your cell phone in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the phone and its components, something air drying will not do!
Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.silicagelpackets.com/ that has them.

well... if its been in the rice bag for 24-48 hours... powercycle first off... (meaning turn phone off, wait 1 min, turn on).... if the water got into the internals, then a powercycle will determine this. The phone will either turn on and nothing else or just wont turn back on at all.
If no water go inside the internals, then a powercycle will act just as normal as when you first got the phone ...
