might be worth removing the battery and sim if you have not done so already

Mines had loads of baths, just take the battery and SIM out and put it in the airing cupboard overnight and it's fine.

I've done it before, battery out and let it dry sorts it out. The components aren't damaged by the water, it's the short circuits the water creates. I'm worried about getting my iphone wet because you can't get the battery out

Dropped my iPhone in the bog, fished it out straight away but the screen faded straight away and the phone turned off. Left it in the airing cupboard with a silica gel for a couple of hours and it turned back on and all works fine.
Only thing the screen was a weird colour, over-exposed I think is the right term but for some reason it just decided to fix itself today 3 weeks later? So yeah, they do dry out and it now all works perfect.

Completely off subject, but if you searched google for the name of this thread, you'd get some amazing amatuer POV stuff
