YES there is hope there is always hope. I have washed my phone in the tumble washer and it survived. The phone was off because the battery was almost dead. I didn't turn it on I took it apart completely and used compressed air on it put it above a 75 watt bulb for a day and fired it up. The thing to know is you can lay it out open for 2 days as you said but it also needs heat to get the moisture trapped between the sandwiched multi layer circuit boards cell phones have. Compressed are is really key to all this. So get it blown off and cook it for a day or so now. Also the battery can get water inside it and that to needs to be dried well.

Yes, remove the battary and sim card and any memorycard.
Put it in the airing cupboard for a week to allow it to dry thoroughly and if you are lucky it may still work.
Its the only option you have.
Dont turn it on for at least a week though.

Yep - these are the steps:
1. take the battery out
2. mop up the obvious excess water
3. dismantle as far as possible, removing sim, other sliding covers etc.
4. dry gently with a hair-dryer or similar
5. be prepared to buy another phone :-|

take out all the bits - sim, battery etc. Dry the phone with the hairdryer. I dropped mine down the loo and once I had put the spare battery in the phone it worked fine. Good luck! Hope he doesn't go too mad with you!

i dismantled then stuck in a drying cupboard for a few days done the trick but doesn't work on all phones. if it doesn't work claim on your insurance if you have no insurance get some wait a month, because accidents do happen if you know what i mean

I have done it twice. The first time the phone also went into the tumble dryer and was dried out and worked. 2nd time the phone was wrecked.

ah don't worry, that happens all the time, take out the battery, sim card and everything else seperate and leave it to dry for a week or so, you could try the hairdryer also.

I asked a guy at the AT&T store and they said to do this:
1. take battery out
2. put battery in a bowl of uncooked rice (it will absorb all of the water)
3. put your battery back in
4. THen your phone is ready
