my friend, you are in a potential world of hurt but not totally without hope. I strongly recommend that if you have a branded phone, YOU NOT RETURN IT for a handset exchange. They will find evidence of water damage and you will pay. However, if you take a chance, and let the phone dry out for 8-10 days, it will begine to operate as it once did before. At first it will only do it for short periods of time, but progressively it will lengthen and before long remain on and fucntioning.
