My Touch Pro went swimming today

My TP went swimming today, in the bathroom - you know where.

I had it in an aftermarket case, not waterproof by any means. I fished it out after about 1 second.

Looked like it got dunked pretty good but not really soaked. I think the case slowed down water somewhat. But drops were coming out of it for a while.

Had it under a fan.

Started doing weird things, like not turn on, or start turning on but never really boot up, or boot up but have the screen off, or randomly cut off.

Finally came back to its sense after the swim and all seemed to works fine, including sound.

One casuality may have been the Li-Ion battery, it got discharged completely, so I wonder if it got shorted. I know I did not leave it in that state. I did manage to charge that battery so it *seems* to be OK now but I shall see if it developed a fast discharge or any other anomalies.

So this phone is not dunk proof at all.
