>Interesting....had not seen that one yet. I was told your best bet is to 1) get the battery out of it and 2) dip the phone in rubbing alochol and then let the whole thing dry out.

Hmm, you'd probably be better off with "pure" (99%+) isopropanol/ispropyl alcohol. "Rubbing alcohol" is not the same stuff, it's about 70% isopropanol mixed with various non-volatile oils that's supposed to make it more pleasant to apply to the skin. That gunk won't evaporate from the inside of electronics.

>Funny story though - I had a friend at my house once, she got upset and tossed her phone in the deep end of my pool - where it stayed all night. The next morning she jumped in the pool and got her phone. Next thing I know I hear this loud thump...thump...thump.... Sure enough she had wrapped up her phone in a towel and put it in the clothes dryer! Now here is the funny part - she pulls it out like 45 minutes later and sure enough she turned the thing on and it worked..hahaha (well it worked for a couple more weeks anyway)

Sounds female to me ( beg )
