Safest bet that I've seen, however, is mismantling it as much as possible and putting it in uncooked rice. The rice will soak up all the moisture. In all these cases, however, even though your phone works fine it might not work in the future. One bout of getting wet can start corrosion on the circuits that won't appear for weeks, months or even years, but most likely if it has gotten wet once it will die a premature death. :O The oven on lowest setting does work.

I've had the unpleasant chance to do this a few times. Once, in a swimming pool. Once, in a pond while fishing. Once, in a river in the back of my friends' house. Was able to recover it every time. However, on a Nokia N90 (I believe was the model), it burned out the memory card, and the battery terminals had burn marks. After replacing the memory card and scratching off the burn marks, the phone worked fine. Yes, this works fine. I’ve had the unpleasant chance to do this a few times.
