    I spilled some tea on my Curve today, but managed to get it turned off and the battery removed before anything shorted out.
    What do I do with it now? Is there a way I can clean it, or do I just have to wait for a week or so for it to dry out?
    I spilled the tea on the keys, and trackball, not into the speaker areas.
    Please help me fix this!!

    Stick it in a bag of rice for a few days. The rice will absorb the moisture.

    I would just let it sit out for a few days with the back cover off, battery, sim card, and mem card out of it. Maybe even outside somewhere where it's dry so you can get the tea smell out of it too. LOL

    Although the rice might (and that is a big IF) your biggest problem
    is probably be sugar. I did this with my 1st Pearl and although after
    3 days of drying out the screen was never the same. It turns on
    and functioned properly, but the damaged to the LCD was apparent and permanent.
