(the little "do not eat" packets that you find in new shoes, pill bottles, etc) you can buy rechargable dessicant packs from camping supply, and photography supply stores i put my ipod nano into a tupperware with some dessicant, after i had dropped it in the cooler of beer. it works perfectly now. also try placing it in a dessicant…

I happened to have my fiance's phone in my pocket (yes, I was trying to be the good little bachelor), and it got a pretty good dousing of beer. Being drunk at the time I kept it in my pocket not thinking at thing was wrong. I realized later that night that the phone was totally dead, but didnt have the foresight to remove the battery. Believe it or not, the dang thing still worked the next day after a slight recharge. However, the battery ended up being "damaged" (there's a little strip of colored paper on the inside of the battery to tell you if it's had water damage - it had), so we got a replacement. Since then, the phone has been working just fine. Pretty sturdy things if you ask me. Then again, it could have just been the beer... At my bachelor party, strippers poured beer down my pants.
