Ok on feb 14th there was a huge icestorm and that night as it was winding down I aparently dropped my phone out int he PK lot of my job. Well just yesterday someone found it but the screen has alot of fogging and has some water in it. This phone is not made with a sim card and aparently it was laying face down. What strikes me as odd is this phone had to have been run over since it was fund right behind someones tire. It is in almost perfect condition other then the fogged screen. I took the battery out and placed it infront of the heater under my desk.
Am I doing the right thing?
Does anyone think it can be saved?
Any other suggestions?

I have droped 5+ cell phones in water and this works EVERY time.
Take the battery and sim (if there is one) out. Get 91% rubbing alchohol and pour it into a ceramic bowl. Put the phone in and let it sit about an hour and romove the phone and dry it. Place the phone in front of a heater and let it dry about 3 days. Your phone is good as new.
And i know it's scary putting it in the alchol, but trust me, it works.

I have the same phone as you, if you have Verizon, I would advice you call up there customer support, it is very handy and they are exteremly helpfull.
One time my phone kept acting like it had the head device plugged into it,( so I could here no sounds because it though it was sending the sound to the head device) but it didn't.
Called up customer support, told me straight away to check to see if there was any fluff inside the connecter, were you plug your charger in, and sure enough there was.
Problem solved.
If you have insurence on your phone, they will replace it for you.
So give them a call,
Hope this helps!

Let it dry out take the battery off and do not turn on for a few days you could also find someone with a air compressor with a blow gun and have them dry it out my phone fell into a pond and it got drenched it worked then quit my husband turned his air compressor on and dried it out but he removed the battery and it started working again
