    Stay away from Pork Fried Rice, though... it can make your trackpad slippery...

    first take the battery out as operating it will only make things worse -clear any remaining water out the best you can (do not use a blowdryer...that will only push moistuer further into the phone) - prepare to be without a phone for a min of 48 hrs. - place it in a ziplock or tupperware with uncooked rice and just leave it at least 24 hrs (48 if possible) the longer the better.

    replace your battery and cross your fingers - this is not fool proof, but many ppl have gotten lucky in the past

    note to self - no texting while using the potty!!

    yo man min got wet i didnt know and all of sudden all keys stoped working
    i took into the store they said it was water damaged the guy cleaned it and now it workd but some keys dont click right away

    anyways to avoid perminte damage open it up and dry it with out air
    it the air that causes the which can happen in as little as few hours

    Yup what all others said try the rice thing. It probably wasn't good that you tried using it after it got wet though. I hope it works out for you though.
