One time I went backcountry camping - I put the phone in the dog's pack 
so it would be easily accessible (without having to take my 90 pounder 
down).  About two miles into the woods we came across a river.  She's a 
Lab.

I pulled the battery and hung it from the pack for the day and left it 
out in the sun whenever we stopped and that night it worked fine and 
for another couple years.  The LCD panel was the slowest to dry but for 
family reasons I ran the phone with a wet LCD panel and it was fine (no 
damage but it didn't work well while wet).
