I dropped my blackberry curve 9300 in the bath today and I took it out imediatly but it was fully submerged. I took out the battery and sim and dryed them with a dry towel, very well and put them back in. I tryed it and the screen was fine but the keyboard and trackpad were weird. The trackpad did not respond untill i pressed it numerous times and the keyboard buttons typed in othe letters instead of their own and some didn't work at all. After that I took the battery and sim out straight away and they remain out now.

I want to know if my blackberry is dead or if it will work again or if I can save it, please?

You likely killed it when you put the battery back in so soon.
I would have let it dry out for a few days before powering it back up.

As penguin 3017 said it may be fried. Try putting it in a bag of new rice for a week or so. The rice may dry it out,then cross your fingers.

I dropped my curve in the bath last week, and didnt believe the rice thing would work, but it did.
I immediatly stripped as much out of the phone as possible, dried it and then put everything in bowl of rice for two days and it all works fine, albeit with a rattle from a grain of rice in my phone lol

I would place it in a bag with the rice it will absorb better. Not sure the bowl is as effective.

Right now, I filled the box I got my blackberry in with rice but Maybe I will put it in a bag today cuz I'm going out for easter and it will be easier not to be tempted if its not actually with me

It's bad form to hijack a post.
The error message your receiving is telling you what you need. A Blackberry Data plan. You have a plan that does not allow internet , BBM or maps access that uses the internet. You also do not get direct email.
