What?

:mj07:

i heard about the rice method that went into more detail then this site says but here's some saving/drying solutions.

Wait. This is the hardest part - leaving your phone alone, with battery and SIM card out, while it dries slowly. Tricks like leaving your phone in a bowl of dry rice will help to expedite moisture evaporation. They might also have side effects like getting rice in your phone. Just put it someplace reasonably warm and dry, uncovered so water can evaporate, and wait.

I can tell you there is a little sticker inside that turns from white to red when it gets wet. Voids any warranties, also if you peel it off it voids it.

I have some 'experience' with that....

Damn that sucks!! I've gone through so many phones. Let's see I've dropped them in a pond, beer, water, toilet, toilet, and i think that's it.
