    My cell phone was dropped into the bath too. After drying with silica gel, it is the same.

    Make sure it's dry, then put in bag of rice for day or so, should work.

    (urban myth but some say it works)

    For a few weeks or maybe a month or two but if it is not dismantled and cleaned it will stop working for ever.

    Unfortunately, you are not covered under warranty for this..

    ^ Erm I was under the impression that leaving it in a warm place can make it hot. Well my phone once got heated and shut down.

    After wiping it clean of course, let it dry.

    I gotta admit that when my phone was dusty I washed it and it was fine after cleaning it..

    Just clean it as soon as possible, is it already damaged?
