Definitely drop the phone with the battery cover off and the keyboard exposed into a ziplock bag of rice and stick it in a sunny spot on the counter for about 48 hours and see if that solves your problem. Make sure you toss the loose battery into the bag as well.

I had a friend do this after she dropped her phone in the toilet (gotta be a lady thing) and it worked fine after a few days of drying out in the rice!
