Jeezus, it's a small world. My wife did -exactly- the same thing with
-exactly- the same (model) phone.


Immediately turned it off, opened it up to dry, but 48 hours later it
didn't work.

Wife's did after blowing the water out and a little bake in the
kitchen oven.


So she got a new phone.

A few weeks later I decide to scavenge the battery pack from it before
I tossed it. But, out of curiosity, I turned it on first... came
right up ;-)

I've always been happy with Motorola phones, but I need to get a new
one to meet the requirements of E-911.

Why do you want the government knowing where you are at all times?


Can you get a cell phone anymore that DOESN'T have a camera ?:-)

Dunno. Personally, I was quite satisfied with my analog Motorola
Flip-phone. Voices sounded like real human beings.
