I love my old phone, it just works. Its been my trusty handset for many years.
Then today, I dropped it in a dog water bowl.
Firstly no keypad, then the display stopped working. Its currently undergoing a gentle heating with the battery and sim card out.
I hope I don't have to upgrade to one of these modern things. I'll be lost

I've done this before, with a Sony Ericsson. It never worked again, the water destroyed it

I dropped my old 5110 in a pint. Like yours the screen just faded away
I let mine dry out for a few days and it worked fine again, although the keys were sticky.

I dropped mine in the sea; it's never vibrated since, but other than that it's still fine. I use it as my backup phone now.
