Someone really make a video to demonstrate how to dry a phone with rice: http://sclipo.com/videos/view/how-to...hone-with-rice

Really, I think we need myth blaster to help us proving if rice really works, but it's your phone to take your chance with, and no other phone but a N900! So I'd highly recommend you to use some real dehydration agents like silicone gel which you can find in camera stores.

Also, if you've watched the disassembling video you can see that some electronics connections in N900 is not wired but pairs of thin metal foils. It's definitely not good in the long run if some moisture gets inbetween. If you don't want to disassemble it you still want to use some strong dehydration agents to abosrb this moisture.

Rice...hmmm.....
