probably best to get expert attention asap but here are quite a few threads discussing this so take a look here for a starter and see what others have said previously

If you use the search option, youŽll see it happened also to my t610...i only managed to repair it after sending it to a repair store, and and they changed the main board and the lcd...since then (almost 6 months ago, itŽs working like a new one). But...i had to pay something like 70 euros for the service + material used.
If i were you, and if it needs to get a new lcd, iŽd ask the repair shop to put a t630 instead This way youŽll end up with something good from a bad situation

You could try holding the phone up to a heater on full blast and on hot in your car. Worked for my car head unit Worth a go |

Go to a repair center, now!!! They have to "treat" you phone to remove all humidity in the t610 circuits...it can be working ok for some time, but sometime you will end up with problems

Well...iŽd avoid the SE services...try another repair shop, so they can examine your phone...if the SE services detect humidity in your phone, even if you donŽt say them it fell in the water, youŽll loose your warranty

If you feel confident enough, I'd take the phoen apart then put it on top of your monitor, let the individual components (especially the PCB) dry out thoroughly. Then, put the phone back together and pray - I'm afraid that water damage is pretty much irreversable unless you catch it early enough and dry everything out completely.

I read somewhere in the swedish magazine Mobil, that at some service points they put the PCB and all components in 98% spirit on 24 hours.... have read it, so I reccomend you don't try... I will take no responsibility...
