Unless the rice has been baked dry around 100c and left to cool in a sealed container it is not hygroscopic in any meaningful way. Baked dry or from sealed package silicone gel is effective, if it has been out in the air it is also pretty useless. A fan or oven set at 50C would work better
Hair dryer risks melting a case, and air hose risks blowing off SM components.
Best case for those in the future is to pull the battery immediately, disassemble the N900(or other phone) and use high concentration alcohol >90% or in a pinch deionized or distilled water as quickly as possible. Air dry. Not sure what it will do to the camera but it might save the system board, I have done this for several phones, radios, and laptops in the last 30 years with pretty good success.
