Whatever you do do not try and turn it on, take the battery out and leave the battery cover off. Let it dry out for a few days. My brother went swimming with his phone, and he did this. His came on and has worked since, but its a 50/50 chance.

You guys have no clue, you're just guessing...Why voice opinions based on !#@#.
My phone fell in an airplane toilet full of bluejuice, and my piss.
After 3 days of the battery being out, it started working.
Of course I'd already bought a new one, so I sold it to a friend. true story.
