[NLC] Drip Dry Phone

I've had electronics survive a wash if they're dried reasonably
quickly... open as many openings as possible, and put it somewhere
with dry air - near a low-wattage light bulb, perhaps.  If you have
some of those "silica gel - do not eat" packets around, put them in a
toaster oven at minimum temp for 10 minutes, then put them in a sealed
container with the phone.  (No point in this if it's still obviously
dripping.)
