I dropped a K510i in the bath (don't ask!) and I immediately stripped it using a Torx screwdriver and waved a hair-dryer around it's nether regions. It still works fine now.

I think the key points to remember if this happens to you is take the battery out IMMEDIATELY and open the phone up ASAP to get air all around it.

just for secure, i would let it clean in a service too. my friend in his shop is using a kind of "vibra-bath", the motherboard swims in that some hours long and do helps sometimes at really bad accidents as well.

You mean one of those ultrasonic baths Boba?

I'd keep the phone off with the battery out for another day or so if I were you just to make sure that it's fully dried out and minimise the risk of any corrosion occuring later.
