Answer 1

your scerwed. bravo.  your only option would be to get a new phone.  sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but water is an electronic's worst enemy.  they almost never make it out alive.  get a new phone, or if u have insurance on it [most blackberrys come with automatic insurance from the blackberry company] get a new one from there, contact your cell phone carrier for information on service.  if payment for a new phone isnt an option, buy a cheap one on ebay www.ebay.com there perfectl good phones and u can save like a hundred bucks.  hope things work out!

How long did you let it dry? Typically you need to let it dry out for at least 2-3 days, with the battery out. Also, you can try and put it on top of something warm like a cable box. I have seen others place the device in a bag of rice to draw out the water.

If the device still isn't working after several days you will need to have the device replaced.
