There are literally hundreds of cell phones dropped in the bay every year. When I dive - you should hear the fish calling each other

Hope the rice trick fixes it.
I've heard placing near a light bulb helps too.
They make them, Motorola, Sony, Sanyo and others......waterproof, shockproof, drop-proof, etc.
I was talking with a USCG officer a few days ago and he had a new one....small, compact, rubberized, nice screen and lots of features.....pretty cool.
The problem is they are expensive compared to a normal cellphone.

Try setting your wet phone on a heat vent overnite....should dry it out.....air conditioning will also remove the moisture during the summer season.
