Don't bother trying to get it fixed. There could still be moisture left deep inside your phone's components. Would you risk trying to get it fixed and end up with a completely dead phone weeks or months later? Think twice.
A new phone might cost a lot, but think of it as something that you have no choice but to get.
Perhaps a chance to upgrade to a better phone (K800i?).

dude, one piece of advice: if customer service doesn't do it for you, don't despair.... just do the following....
get distilled water (water w/o electrolytes and / or impurities).
give your cellphone another dip on it (w/o mem, sim & batt, of course ) and stir it up for a good 2-3 minutes
after that, pour the rest of the distilled water on it, leave it dry for a good ol' 2-3 days, and see if it works....
the problem tah comes from your phone getting into the water is not that water has fallen on it. the problem is that the water from your toilet tends to have in it lotsa substances dissolved, wich tend to sediment between the circuits of your cellphone, often producing short-circuits when powered again.
water alone won't damage a cellphone: it's mostly everything else that is dissolved in it that increases its conductivity......
hope that my answer helps you dude.......

I'm NOT sure about: xnuo's IDEA here
It's like putting SALT to an open wound if I may say . . . though I am concern much too if there WERE something floating on the toilet bowl when it was dropped . . . say like, poo-poos or urine
those TWO substance can KILL humans for all we know, what more to a celfone?
@rob- Keep us upadated here still mate? You said that's your ONLY fone - K750i . . . if so, why did you choose the W850i avatar pal? Nice image perhaps?

my phone stopped working after what i said to everyone on the 1st page, after the first few hours of using it the joystick stopped working the music and volume buttons stopped aswell and i can't do without them, i don't feel confident repairing it myself, either by cleaning it or washing it etc.
Anyway, i could get it repaired but i don't want to pay for repairs, instead i decided to upgrade to a newer phone, this time i'm trying a walkman phone (W850i) as reviews i have read about the problems people had with SE joysticks have put me off since the purchase of my K750i, and effetively other SE joystick phones. As the w850i doesn't have a joystick i hope it will be better for me and won't go wrong, i am gong to be extra careful this time around and am not taking it anywhere near water. i'm buying it a cover to protect it i don't want it damaged at all.
That explains why i have it as my picture thing with my name because i'm getting it.
BTW do you know how to change the name on your profile, on esato? because when i click the profile button there is no drop down for it and i cannot click it to change it. because i no longer own a k750, i would like to change it.
and seeing everyone else names i find mine a bit lame.

Give a MOD such as axxxr or Masseur a PM and tell them what you want your name changing too and they'll do it

@rob - So you will just let your K750i DIE like that
About the W850i, I heard that it's a NICE one . . . though many of our co-members here experienced a CRACK on their keypads . . . I'll try to post the LINK on that dude . . . wills search for it for the meantime . . .
