    i hope u payed the few bux extra for insurance... cuz theyll dissect that shit to see if it was water-damaged. When its shorted out, its fucked, nothing u can do... this happened to my phone a year back and Tmobile wasnt all that helpful either. 75$, new fone

    I dropped my phone in a spit cup in my car. It was submerged about 3/4 of the way. That really sucked. I bought a new one but once that one dried out it worked fine. It took about 3 days.

    yea take a hair dryer and take the phone apart and dry it out...My dad works for Cingular and thats what we always do and at least ull be able to get the numbers out of it after it dries. It usually works after that.

    Damn, I drowned one of my old phones too. My little cousin decided to cross the damn rope in the swimming pool at a hotel and was goin under and couldn't make it back up so I jumped in to get him and forgot my phone was in my jeans pocket.

    Manager at Sprint was cool as hell, let me upgrade to their newest phone (at the time) for the difference of my original purchase price when I told him what heppened. So I ended up with that Sanyo 5500 for like $70.

    use a hair dryer... my mom dropped her phone in the sink and now it works since she used a hair dryer to dry it out.. and just in case it should dry it up so you can use the insurance cause they wont cover water damage....

    that's why I love my Boost/Nextel Water Resistant....

    I did something like that before, I had this badass phone (which was also my mp3 player) and I left in my pocket and washed it...that sucked.

    open the phone up, open any data ports on it and place it on a window ledge, the sun (if its out) will heat up the unit and make the water/poopoo evaporate out of it. I know this works well cause I have went swimming with my phone in my pocket a few times (doh!)....

    Yeah it was funny... He was actually picking up his phone to get my phone number because I might be moving in with them. I figured he could just tell people that he dropped his phone in his beer trying to get some girls phone # and it could be a good conversation starter, lol! I'm not sure if it's working yet though??? But yeah, I'll try to hang out more, definately!!
