To make a long story short, my cell phone fell in the toilet. It the sprint A900M, if that helps somehow. I don`t even know how that could help, but do you know of anything I could do to fix it? Or should I just buy a new phone?

I ran my husband's cell phone through the washer last week (no, not intentionally LOL) and I removed the battery cover, battery, and SIM card and left it to dry for, oh, probably 24 hours or so.
It worked like a charm when we put it back together, but the battery needed charged.
And if it makes a difference, the phone was turned on when it made it's spin cycling adventure, and it still worked after drying. (Yah... He didn't think it would work... HA!)
