This really works. My nieces and nephews are constantly doing this with their phones, and then recently, I dropped my XMp3 into a lake and the thing was fried. To compound it further, I kept trying to power up, which it did but then shut down for good. After hearing about the rice trick, I pulled the battery and placed the battery and the device into the rice and let it sit for 24 hours.Pull the battery out of the Storm if you have not done so already. Then put that sucker in a big bag of uncooked rice which will draw out the moisture. Wait 24 to 48 hours, and the phone MIGHT just work ok.
Thing works perfectly now. It's something about rice being able to absorb all the water or something.
