Bad trick actually. What if you take a bath in a salt-water chlorred swimming pool with your cell phone...?? I did, and then disassembled all the parts I could in a hurry and rinsed it (the un-assebled pieces in LOTS of clean water), then I dried it or I could have used rice. The phone worked fine for another 8 months. :)

Be careful in placing the battery in the rice. Some batteries react badly to the rice. Cell went through washing machine placed everything in rice 24 hours later the battery had expanded to twice normal size and was in danger of rupturing. Not sure of the cause of the expansion, any thoughts?
