put it in the oven for a couple hours on 150-175 degrees.

DO NOT do the below.

Take the battery out, remove the SIM and let air dry for a day or two.

Hmmm... I've been a component level electronics technician for almost 25 years, 2 way radios, cell fones, pagers, etc. I say put it in the oven like I've done for a long time.
Besides, he doesn't have a lot to lose, it's probably trashed anyway.

I'd say put it on the dryer to finish the work

It might dry out for you but chances are your cellphone is beached and now only good as a paper weight.

My daughter had her's in her pocket last summer and was pushed into a pool which, ofcourse, got it nice and wet - phone was garbage afterwards as it was probably powered on when it hit the water and just fried.

Good luck with it.

I washed my Razr too. The key is to take out the battery asap. Do not put it back in until it dries out completely. I have a convection oven that can be used to dehydrate food at a very low temperature (130 Deg). I found a procedure posted on how to take apart and clean up the phone. I took mine apart so that it was opened up and placed it in the oven for 12 hours. Then I cleaned contacts like the procedure said and put it back together. But it didn't work. But I had another battery so I popped it in and the phone came up. I charged the battery and have been using it for over a year now. You have to get the moisture out and clean the contacts so they don't tarnish or stick. I was careful and probably a little lucky too but if you are careful you may be able to save it even if you wash it like I did. BTW, the battery that went through the wash was ruined and never recovered.

insurance on it?

My friend dropped his razr in his pool a couple of times actually, and he simple promptly took the battery out and let it dry. But, obviously, there is a chance its not fixable.
