Answer 1

i washed my blackberry pearl in the washer last week.. and its still fully functional.

This is what I did with a bit of research.

First I took out the battery and sim

Then wiped it off

Put it on the fan for lik 2 mins

blow dried it for lik 5-10 mins REALLY hot.

then i took a bowl of uncooked rice and completley covered the phone in the rice. the battery and the sim and the cover were all aside.

abt 36 hrs later I checked on it and it turned on after i charged it but the screen was still blotchy.

I used it with the blotchy screen (which was perfectly fine) and that same night I put it back into the rice.

The next morning it was good as new.

Answer 2

Take the battery out and let it dry for a couple of days.  

After a couple of days, put the battery back in, and see if it will work.

Do not use the blow dryer any more, and don't leave parts in the sun.  Those things can damage electronics and displays.

Answer 3

The battery is super sensitive, and will get water damage.  Take out the battery...there is a color coded sensor sticker.  If it is pink or bright pink, the battery is damaged.  You COULD replace the battery, but it may have messed with some other components of the phone.  

If you have an extra battery, change it out.  If neither works, you will have to do your insurance claim and pay the $50 to replace the phone.  They usually will have the phone replaced between 24-48 hours.
