:( i cant believe i did this. i left my cell phone in the pocket of my swimsuit when i went in the hottub, and when i got out i noticed it and it was totally filled with water.i took off the face plate and drained all the water out of it, so that part is totally dry, but the battery is totally filled with water still! when i shake the battery all i hear is slosh, slosh, slosh. what i want to know is whether i have to buy just a new battery or a new phone altogether! thanks so much!
 
ouch bad luck!

well da fone mite be ok since it's dried out, iv had fones get soaked and den be fine wen dried so u mite be ok, but da battery i say its history, u should find sum1 wit da same fone and try or even go into da shop and ask dem to test it with a diff battery!

My brother dropped his Kyocera Phantom cricket phone into a puddle of watter, quickly retireved it, opened it up and dried it out for a few days and it worked afterwards, BUT, it didn't work RIGHT after that. It dropped calls far more than average for a Cricket phone afterwards, possibly some other problems. Therefore, my advice to you is to get a new phone if you can afford it, because you can probably expect difficulties with your phone even if you replace the batery and get it to work.

Phones were never meant to go diving ;)
