So long as it wasn't turned on, and hasn't been turned on since it got dunked, if you manage to get the internals completely dry, it should be ok.
It depends. I know of cells that have been dunked and worked right after only to die a few hours, or days later. And I know of cells that have been dunked and didn't work right away and started up later.
Check behind the battery. There is usually a little white dot back there and if it's pink, that means water got under there and your phone is probably a goner.
How is your phone now?
My wife just put her cell phone through half a wash cycle. We took it in to the techies who were unable to retrieve the memory but one of them suggested a remedy...place the phone in a bag of rice for some days to a week. This actually worked. Though the phone itself is a goner, the memory proved retrievable.

this also prevents people from taking the phone in and saying "i don't know, it just stopped working"
Robert is correct.
What I'm wondering though, is if Intrepid still has poop on his handset.....
one of my boys dropped his Game Boy in the toilet....dried it with a towel - used a blow dryer on low heat like Robert said and it is still alive 3 years later. I think that Beth is right when she says it depends on how wet it got...good luck!
