So yea, I just left my Cell in my work pants, after having checked all the pockets...or so I thought.

Anywho, I've since removed the back case and the battery. And shook most of the water out. Should I just leave it apart and let it dry, and do ya think it will be fine?

leave it apart and let it dry!!!!

my mom dropped her first phone in a lake, pulled it out before it sunk, pulled the battery and let it air dry, it worked fine. she dropped another phone in a running sink, pulled the battery, shook water out of it, put battery back in, turned it on, worked fine, called it, and fried it.

so yea, let it dry out on its own. thats your best bet.

If it was on when it took the dunk, the likelihood is that it will be dead. If it was off, you have a chance. Just let it air out completely before trying to turn it on.

Like stated before, take the battery out, and leave it in a warm, dry place. My friend used the oven when he did that with his phone. Don't recommend that...

Having worked on the tooling for the housings I can tell you a few things...first, it is packed tighter than who-knows-what inside. Make sure to leave it sit for several days and do make it a warm spot...try on top of the refridgerator. Second, it may have seals inside that helped save it. Depending on the brand and how much truble they went to you may get really lucky.
