As I write this, my Curve is drying out in a bag of rice, under a lamp and near the heat coming from the wood stove (not too close!). Last night we had a beauty of a thunderstorm here in Hotlanta and my daughter used my phone to ask my husband to open the door so we could run in out of the drenching rain and lightning and thunder. She then dropped my phone in my purse, still on, and zipped it up. I got out of the car, hugging my purse to me, and dashed to the house. About three hours later I went to get my phone and it wasn't in my purse. My husband went to the car to look for it and found it lying in the grass outside the driver's side door! In the dark, my daughter missed the zipper part and stuck my Curve in an open part of the purse, ending up in it falling out in my mad dash to the house. I can't disassemble it because I don't have the right tools.
I am planning to leave it in the rice for at least a week. I can wait for a week or even two to order a replacement phone because I have borrowed my husband's Samsung and put my SIM card in it while he is using our son's extra emergency Tmo Nokia phone. I admit to being curious to see what will happen if I am patient.
But my question is this: Is it likely to revive after being thoroughly soaked during a bad thunderstorm and then lying in the grass for at least 2-1/2 hours? If so, do you think a week is long enough to leave it in the rice? Or should I ante up the deductible and get a new phone through the insurance already?
TIA
