What he said.

These devices are surprisingly resilient when it comes to things like getting wet. Since there are very few moving parts (the buttons and keys are all Hall effect sensors, I believe) there isn't much that can go wrong mechanically.

Do what the post above says... open it up, take the battery out, and let it thoroughly dry. If you have an air conditioner it wouldn't hurt to leave the phone near it... a/c cooled air is very dry and will speed the process.

Several years ago I lost my Moto numeric pager while shoveling snow... found it a few weeks later in what was left of a melting snowbank. Brought it inside, took the battery out, let it dry thoroughly, put the battery back in, charged it up, and it was good as new.
