A number of years ago I spent a few months working the tech support desk
at AT&T Wireless at Mall 205. One of the things I learned is that
electronic gadgets and water do not mix. If you are fortunate enough
that the power was off when the water event occurred, after a thorough
drying out your phone could work again -- for an indeterminate, but
likely short period of time (weeks, months, not much longer).

The problem is that if the water wasn't distilled (as mentioned by Ed)
corrosion will set in. It may take it a while, but eventually some part
of the circuitry will develop an open, or a short due to that corrosion.

I'd start thinking about an upgrade.
