Hubby cant borrow one?

All the neighbors are single ladies, so probably not at this time of night.

I'll swing by Radio Shack tomorrow and pick one up...now that I know what to ask for.

stick it in a bag of rice. Rice will soak up the water.

:before I realized everyone else already said that:

Yes, it's been in rice since it happened, as indicated in the OP

It'll probably be fine. Hopefully you didn't have an immediate critical need for it, at least, unlike my ex-wife once when. . .

Okay, well, she ended up going into my line of work and was also employed by the same executive/dignitary protection firm for a while. And in the midst of an operation she dropped her cellphone into the water.

At least she didn't flush. And she did still have her radio, but that limited her strictly to short-range communication with the others in her team.

You also may want to check into a "computer repair tool kit", as you may have to buy that for a tri-wing driver.

And, good luck getting help at the Shack. My local stores have become nothing more than a third party cell phone shop. Not a single rep there knew what was talking about when I asked if they had a UPS System (un-interruptable power supply, think a 15 min battery for your desktop computer, for those that don't know) for sale, nor did they know if they carried 3.5mm three step to 3.5mm two step converters (stereo speakers w/ mic to just speakers).

Thanks for the tip!

I don't usually look for help at Radio Shack, just the parts needed. Mickey is usually really good with the electrical stuff and encourages me to do it myself, which I am trying to do more. And, to be honest, cell phones, computers and game consoles are outside of his ken though, so I try to pick up the slack there if I can (with help from the teenager we have in the house).

Ouch....

I managed to dig up an old cellphone and switched service back to that for now, so I am no longer incommunicado until I figure out whether or not my newer, shinier phone can be saved.
