Yes I left it in an airing cupboard for a couple of days before turning it back on. Unfortunately it happened at a party and I did not find out until the following morning when it had sat in the pool of water while powered on all night (until the battery died/it switched itself off at least) and the damage was already done. Cheers for the suggestion though.

That's a relief I don't have to add all my contacts again individually, I'd read somewhere else that I would have to. Do you know if vCard v3 includes all details in the contacts? When I opened a vCard file with outlook it was missing details like jabber account etc.
