A friend of mine had a Lumia 920 that fell on the toilet and tried the rice trick with no success
I disassembled the phone and place those litle silicone humidity bags for more than 24h
Assembled all together after that and for my surprise it turned on and is still working today

best would be, for what i know, to put it in distilled water, then take it out and disassemble it and put into rice or something else able to absorb humidity.
distilled water to wash out salts cause they are culprits of water damages

ps: all this talking about sailfish, sailors and devices got broken (or hopefully not) for just a little water? XD

But full panic mode still. I had vacuum air in bottle, so I used that. And now I submerged it into a bowl of rice.
Now I guess I should pray to the almighty, or given the time of year, to the great santa?
So... anyone have experience how well Jolla C handles taking a dive into water?
