been there with the water logged cell phone. you did everything right. leave it there. i waited 24 hours and put the battery back in my phone and it worked fine. if it doesn't you will have to go back to the store and hopefully you have insurance..i am sure it will work. Some say to leave it out a week. you could do that but i just waited until it was dry and a little longer. Mine still works and i am past my 2 year contract now.

If you have hair dryer use it to dry water contents inside mobile

Procedure

Take off battery

Take hair dryer & try to dry the water contents in phone

Once you finish it up completely you may use your cell phone

Don't worry! it will work if you take the battery out and lay it next to the phone and let them dry. However...its going to take a while. mine too about 3 days. just be patient and give it time

Start shopping for a new one. It's probably toast by now.

(1) IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE BATTERY. VERY VERY IMPORTANT!

(2) As soon as possible (preferably within 20-30 minutes). dissassemble the phone using Torx T6 screwdriver. (Get this off eBay or service depots, etc) Make an emergency trip to Sears/RadioShack/ACE/service depot/etc.

(3) Clean/dry as much as you can, using Q-Tips

(4) Dry the electronics components under a desk lamp on a paper towel for 24 hours.

(5) Use a blow dryer, set on warm. Blow dry the phone. Make sure your battery and sim card are out of the phone.

(6) Put your phone in rice for 24 hours with battery/sim card out.

(7) Reassemble the phone

(8) Put back together

(9) Only now it's safe to put the battery back in.

You can also leave the battery and sim out. Leave your phone out in the sun. Let it dry
