How long has it been? Most cell phones can get wet and still work if you remove the battery and dry them out with a hair drier.
If you can try this, the battery my be gone but a battery is only about $40 vs. the $200 for a whole new phone.
If you do need a replacement phone go for a more basic model for far less money.

I had the same problem, your phone is still under warranty if you only had it three months. You can send it to cingular, they will repair it for free while you use a replacement in the meantime. It's the only option unless you let your phone air dry and see if it still works. Take it apart and leave it for a day in a very dry part of your home. One more thing, if you tell Cingular that your phone got wet the warranty won't apply so you may want to leave that info out. I never did get my fixed and besides the occasional glitch it's fine. Can't wait till September to get a new one though when my contract expires.

How long was it wet? My phone has been:
1. In the swimming pool.
2: In a cup of coffee
3: In the toilet (that's right)
Take the battery out along with the simm card, then try to use compressed air to blow as much of the moisture out. You can use a can of compressed air that they use for cleaning computers. My phone is still working fine. Better than giving the thieves $200.

Yeah, my cell phone got broken and I had to replace it, too. There's nothing you can do but pay for it. Then ask your cell phone company about insurance. I pay 4 bucks a month for my insurance. And I've had to use it twice in 3 years. I pay the $50 deductible and that's it. Sorry there's not much you can do about it now. But maybe this will help you for next time.
