Stop turning it on or you will fry the phone, why no put it in the oven on a low heat to dry it out, ive had a couple of customer do this and it sometimes recovers.

why not take it to your local mobile work shop or something...

here is my own trick and it has always worked. hope fully u havent fried the phone from turning it on.
take out the battery, if you can open the phone completely if not dont bother. put the phone and the battery in a clean dry bowl and then cover it completely with dry uncooked rice.
let it stay in there for 24 hrs. take it out and then lightly run a hair dryer in the back area where the battery goes for about 3mins making sure the phone doesnt get hot only SLIGHTLY warm so as not to damage electronics. once done, put the battery back and turn it on. hopefully it should work.

p.s: rice is very absorbent and so it should absorb the moisture in the device.

Good advice. If you can find one of those freshness sachets, tear it open and it will have lots of silica beads inside. They are even more hydrophilic than rice.

If not you can atleast post pics of your baked phone:p

Anyways you shouldnt have turned on the phone till it was completely dry, even if it meant leaving it out in the sun for a week. Best bet take it to a nokia service center instead of trying things yourself.....let the professionals take it from here:D

In my experience Nokia won't repair a water damaged handset. I've been told it's because Nokia can't guarantee that any repairs done to the handset will hold. It may be different overseas but here even out of warranty Nokia won't fix it.
