But if anyone else ever dunks a phone, try drying it out first!

Yep correct.
Went through a phase of dropping my phone in the loo - first time I took it all apart, rinsed it under the tap, wrapped it in tissue and put it on top of the boiler for a few days. Absolutely fine!
Second time I did it I tried to switch it on straight away. Result: dead phone!
Had a no phone situation for a week or so recently due to a few contractual problems with O2.
Quite enjoyed it but it was very inconvenient too, especially trying to run a business! Then I though back to when I had a tyre blow out on a main road a few weeks before and had to call the police and the RAC. Stuck another sim card in the phone pretty quick; no way I want to get stuck somewhere!
