Mobile phone + water = advice please?

I'm not the first, and I probably won't be the last, but I knocked some water (finest quality non-fizzy bottled) over and a load went over my new (not even a week old) phone. It's a clam-shell one, so the keys were relatively protected, and it worked immediately after.

But now I've got home it's all switched off and I can't get it to power on again. Is it lost forever?

Take the battery out, leve it to dry over night. It Should be ok. However it may of fried

Take it all appart (SIM card out, Battery out)

Put it on top of a dry towel above a radiator or somewhere else dry and warm. Do not put it together again for 24hrs. Oh drop a quick prayer to the leccy pixies too.

Should be fine *crosses fingers*

Have you tried the same with your keyboard? It seems to be missing some random letters

Thanks everyone. I'm pleased to report that after a night on a towel on the radiator it's all tickety-boo.
