Well if you took out the battery write away, their is a chance it maybe saved. First just drying it out wont do much good seance, it was pop that got inside it. OK so you need to figure out how to open the case, look for screws in side the Bat compartment. Or their could be little plugs that pop out around the edge . Get it open and take Qtips and some alcohol . then dab it clean . The alcohol wont damage the circuitry . put back together and usually 50/50 chance but worth the try.

Once the soda dries it will leave a sugary thick syrup behind so it's probably ruined. And I don't think a dishwasher would work. The heat from it would probably ruin your screen. But as one poster said your best bet is to tear it apart and clean it with rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs. The rubbing alcohol evaporates quickly and doesn't leave a residue. plus it will help break the syrup and stuff up so the cotton swaps can get it all up. Most phones are held together by small torx screws. Usually around a T6 size. But if you don't feel comfortable tearing it apart then don't. It might be worth it to go buy a new one. Or maybe your phone company can warranty it. Check all your options. But hell it's already broke so you could give it a shot.
Good luck I hope it turns out for the better.

Yeah, the sugar will cause problems once the liquid dries anyway. If at all possible, you could CAREFULLY take the phone apart and clean out the guts with a cotton swab and alcohol. It's worth a try. Your phone is pretty much broken right now anyway. It's not like you're going to break it any more.

I can only say, pour some Jack in your soda, and you work care about the phone after a few of those
