A friend of mine who works in the cellphone business told me to try this. Get yourself some 99.995% pure isopropyl alcohol (NOT rubbing alcohol). Flush the phone with the alcohol, really soak it and set the phone on it's side to drain. You may need to do this two or three times. Let it dry completely. This doesn't always work but more often then not this will bring a dead phone back to life.
You can usually pick up Isopropal at a local electronic supply store. Sometimes you can get it at the drug store, but (at least here in Canada) they make you fill out a form giving your name and address (to stop you from using it for illicit drug manufactureing.)
Best of luck

you might wanna open up as much as you can without ruining anything and let it dry naturally of with a hair dryer(low heat).
Do not try to switch it on or try to check if it works when its wet, as it will short fire the wire and connect. let it dry and then try to see if it works. If not take it to specialist who can repair, if you are lucky you wouldn't have to replace the whole thing, as some time only a part of it gets damaged.
hope the cell works.

Yes, my room mate's cell phone fell on the tub & it was all wet, we just dried them up & it was ok.

It mainly can't be. My friend just drop her phone in the shower and it was dead and she can't use it anymore and had to replace it.
