I have one suggestion for you: Make a backup copy of the stuff stored in your phone as soon as you can, because water damage is quite nasty. It works like a timebomb. You phone will work today, but maybe tomorrow it will die completely tomorrow killing all your information.
You'd better be safe than sorry! |

You don't have a mobile insurance that provides you with a
new phone if you lose it? |

I had a glass of beer over my T68i witch he didn't very well survived. The keys got sticky, 2 of them stopped working and the screen had stain. After two hours of hairdryer it went on again. Luckily I got a new one from my insurance.
Always ask for a receipt if a SE service point opens your T68i to remove dust, otherwise your warranty expires!! Happened to me. |

Make sure you have to clean up all the parts with pure water deeply,
the PCB is washed by water when made and will not rust if all the
soap or acid is washed out clearly. Also, be sure to dry them up
before you power it on again...!

I had a Nokia 8290 that went thru the same thing and survived. Only I didn't open it or anything. Just let it sit and months later just for kicks (already gotten a new phone by then) I stuck it in the charger and it worked. It's still actually working but it is a TDMA phone and I have GSM service and I have a T68i which is infinitely better |

The phone won't work forever, usually they work for about half a year before they die.
My store has a Service point Stand and we "dry up" phones every day,,, but they never last.
And dont't send it to a Service Point, we can smell moisture damage from amile away |

I've spilled a glass of vodka & coke over mine, let it dry and it worked fine for months until I dropped it down the loo the other day. It stopped working for a couple of days, but then it started to work again with no problems - apart from losing the time. I have taken it back to CPW under insurance as I hear water damage doesn't always have an immediate effect, but I'm without it for two weeks and have a Trium standby phone in the meantime:-( |
