You might try this.

I had a similar experience. I'm painting at home and my phone is on the counter. My eldest daughter calls me on the cell phone instead of the land line and the phone vibrates off the counter into the paint bucket before I can get to it. It's a combo phone and PDA and I'd had it about 2 weeks. I grab it out of the bucket and rinse it off in tap water. I then pull the battery and apply hair dryer and some of the canned air mentioned above and then set it so that if water's inside it will drain away from keys and display. Two hours later I've got a screen but nothing more. By morning I have all functions EXCEPT the top row of keys which means I really have zilch, zero, nil, nada. I can receive but not dial out except on speed dial 4-0 on the touch pad.

I go into my carrier's local retail outlet and tell them a condensed version (as in the top row of keys don't work) of the story and ask about insurance. Turns out I'd termed it a couple phones ago. I'm thinking I just flushed $600 down the drain. However, the ever helpful rep tells me that since I've had the phone less than 60 days it's covered for basically any eventuality. They shipped me a new phone within 2 business days and I'm back in business. Oh, I'm now carrying the insurance on this phone.

Ciao for now,
