Water-damaged iPhone rice trick? Is it effective?

By accident i dropped my phone in the water and picked it up very quickly, it was on for like 3 seconds before the screen went completely blank. I tried switching on again but its not working, so i just used the hair dryer (cold) to dry it from the inside as much as possible. I heard the rice trick where you put your iPhone in a container sealed with rice for at least 2 days, because it absorbs the moist out of the iPhone, and they said it works 90% of a time which is good. But i was wondering if i could unscrew my phone and take out the pieces and dry them separately and put them back together and try switching it on and see if it works or not, because the outcome is the same and its a faster way. But is the rice more effective? Since i hear solutions of using the rice trick more than unscrewing the iphone and drying the pieces. So i was wondering why? And please if you have any ways i can use to help my iPhone to work again its very much appreciated, because i spent the whole night yesterday in tears.

Why does Mail suck on the iPhone?

(iPhone haters… Stay away lol)

I love the iPhone, but I HATE MAIL! I sent a message to myself attaching my resume, so I know it is in my email. But since it's more than a day old, the ^&%$#$ Mail app can't find it! So irritating! Is this fixed in OS 6? And how do i access my documents? I've tried searching the To fields and the subject, and of course the useless Mail app can't find it.
