I did this with my Mogul - was carrying my phone and a cup of water in the same hand, went to put the cup down, SPLASH! The phone fell right in. I did exactly what you did, took the battery out, let it dry out as much as possible, but it wasn't coming back from that type of water damage.
As for insurance coverage, it depends what type of coverage you have. I pay for the $7 insurance and it covers everything including water damange, so if you have that then you're good. You will have to pay a $50 deductible though and they will want to give you a refurb (not sure if there are any refurb TP's yet) but you can try and fight for a brand new one, which is what I did.
