IPhone 4 got dropped on water?

Ok I dropped my Iphone in water this morning and didnt realize it for about a minute. It powered down and the light to the camera came on for a few minutes. The weird part is that it got very warm at the top and then the warmth started to move down it. I have it sitting in rice right now trying to dry it out. The light came on again a few hour later then shut off again. Has anyone ever had this happen before where the phone heated up? Any suggestions? This phone is only two weeks old! I am so mad at myself.

    Don't turn it on just yet, unscrew all the screws in your iphone and leave it with a fan turned on and just let your iphone dry. I did mine for about 10 hours and my iphone is now working well.. No damaged ;) Good luck to your iphone

    Seems like it short circuited. Also, texting in the shower is never a good idea

    you shouldn't try power on your iPhon4 frequency if droped in water, if it is warmth,maybe the motherboard burn out, I suggest you send to repair at once.
