It's always unfortunate when people recommend putting electronics in rice, rice is dusty and makes for a rather poor desiccating agent. It wont dry out your N900 any quicker than if you just put it on your kitchen table.
Wet N900? Remove the battery, strip it down to pieces, dry each part as best you can, then hit each part with a hair dryer or put it all in your oven at a temperature of not more than about 50 degrees C until you are convinced that it is utterly dry.
Once you are convinced, don't be. You've probably still got moisture underneath the surface mounted IC's. Pull off all the metal covers and hair dry it for another half hour or so. Then leave it all for half a day or so and let nature do what you might not have.
After this, if your N900 works, it works, if not, it probably never will.
Don't use rice, you would get far more benefit just sticking your N900 on a sunny windowsill than you ever will by submerging it in rice.
Buying a bag of silicon gel (see attachment) and immerse your phone in them in a air-tight container. Silicon gel is a pretty strong drying agent which would turn from blue to white pretty quickly if it's exposed to normal atmosphere. So becareful.
You can easily find silicon gel in any professional camera shop. Do not confuse it with 'silicone gel', which is used to enlarge breasts.

You should do a little research before you jump to gut instinct conclusions. An N900 in water for a few days could very well survive, in fact it probably would so long as the battery was removed and the water relatively clean
I know I sound a bit self congratulatory here but I will never believe these things can survive being drowned in water.
Not only that, you can never be fully sure that it's all dry, switch the thing on, it short circuits and could cause a fire.
The above message was typed on a N900 which dived in a bathroom sink full of water and recovered 100 percent using above method! d:-)
