Take it apart and remove battery. Dry all the bits with kitchen towel. Leave it the sun. You might just be surprised.
There were electrical discharge issues, ie the SIM card was blackened and no longer amenable to reason. But the phone has been working on its tan today.

I used to clean PCBs in an ultrasonic cleaner. Tank one held something along the lines of Teepol, tanks two and three had water. I suspect the main damage will be down to short-circuits, eg the blackened SIM card. I wonder whether I should get another X820 or go for a U100.
When I did the same thing the SIM card survived and the phone died. The SIM was a bit blackened but I'm still using it so obviously appearances can be deceiving.
If you're a young, gay, fashion-victim. Platy is resolutely none of these. -- Champ ZX10R | GPz750turbo | GSX-R 600 racer My advice as your attorney is to buy a motorcycle To email me, neal at my domain should work.
Give up the role-playing games and take up a sport, preferably one where results are measured with a stopwatch or by counting things hitting or going into other things, rather than being judged on style. Then you'll get the body shape you want. Or you could just get HIV.
He meant am I ordering a "young, gay, fashion victim", not the phone. Oh, and it doesn't look like you'll actually be able to buy one from Apple stores. Well, not a contract one anyway, maybe a PAYG.
The SIM didn't work in the spare phone. I've had it replaced. The X820 will produce odd electrical meeps and light up the keyboard if I attach the charger, but is as the dodo when operating on battery alone. Meanwhile, the SIM is residing in a buckshee S-E T68i, possibly the crappest phone of its era.
<pats T68i that survived a similar ordeal by washing machine, once supplied with a replacement cheap battery off Ebay, and still does service as an emergency spare kept in the car (so long as I remember to charge it occasionally and dial a call to keep the PAYG SIM activated)> -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+
