Rice = Blackberry life

So right before v-day lunch in SF I dropped my beloved phone in some merky SF puddle water. I let it dry for a couple hours it turned on but the keys were all messed up and the trackball was not functioning. I even used a blow dryer and a fan. I was super bummed too cus I guess my numbers are saved to my phone not my sim card. I went online to see if there were any other remedies and read about leaving your phone in a rice bowel overnight. Sure enough the next day it worked 100%!!! I guess the rice absorbes any kind of liquid in the phone.
