I tried drying mine out too Shorty. There are a lot of success stories about using different techniques to dry a wet phone. None of them has worked for me this time. As much as I'm around water I it might be nice to have a phone that you can dunk without any concern. They say you can sit at the bottom of your pond and make a call on this one. However, they warn against trying this if you have a successful trophy Redear pond. \:\)
