Sorry to hear about that, Tow. Was it still better than a day at work?
I've gotten a few of my blackberries wet, one of them in the toilet, lol [fishin]
The best thing I've found to do is remove the battery immediately. If you have canned air spray it out as best you can and then put it in a ziploc bag with some dry rice. It will take the moisture out of places that can't be reached. Leave it in there for a day. I've salvaged at least two this way.
You can take it a step further and buy some electronic contact cleaner to hose it down before the rice.
Then again you might have a warranty....
I buy mine used on CL & eBay because I thrash em'
Lately I've been pretty good about leaving mine in the truck since there's no reception down at Willow. Different story at the lake though.
Thanks for the report!
