Dropped my iPhone 3 in the toilet?

I dropped my iPhone 3gs in the toilet today. It was only there for not even 5 seconds. There wasn't any pee or anything in there either, I would have thrown it away. I had it sitting in rice for about 5 hours, and then I put it near my heater. The sound doesn't work, and when I try to turn it off it just turns right back on. Do you think it's ok to keep it out of the rice for a bit? I'll put it back when I go to sleep though.

Added (1). No, I tried to turn it off when before I put it in rice. But it keeps turning back on. I've tried to turn it back off a bunch of times, but it just turns back on lol

As long as it was dry when you turned it on, then it should be ok. Most electronics are ok if they get wet as long as they are not powered until they are dry.

Not worth messing with water damage. Just get a free iphone 4 with a 2 year contract, that way its a free upgrade for you.

You can recycle your old phones or ipods on apple's site and they will give you store credit for it, so at least you will get something back for it. Even if damaged something is better then nothing.
