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.

You can easily find silicon gel in any professional camera shop. Do not confuse it with 'silicone gel', which is used to enlarge breasts.

That explains why my N900 is so busty lately. Sexy phone though!
Extra dry lol on an already dry subject

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
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:-)
