    hi, try leaving it in the airing cupboard for a few days - this worked when my phone fell in a glass of cream soda :j
  • You can buy a cheap PAYG handset on the same network and use that if you need a new phone. Otherwise check out a local mobile repair shop and see how much they charge to repair (wouldn't pay more than £5/10 really)

    otherwise as said, leave to air for a while longer.
