i have just upgraded my contract phone 2 weeks ago and have just dropped it into the sink so it is now water damaged,any advice would be helpful.

you must have 3 months free insurance, claim on it, and don't take no for an answer.

Well there are 2 ways ov sinking sorry mean thinking about this first of all you might be lucky as last year I spent about half an hour emerged in the kids paddling pool with my motorola L7 in my shorts pocket without realising it and when I did realise I immediatly took the battery out and left it out for 2-3 days to completly dry out and low and behold it worked even the sim card was ok, the only thing that was not there was a game that I put on me mini sd card but the sd card and phone have been working perfectly ok for almost a year now so think I might have been very lucky there.
Now the other way if you have insurance claim of your mobile company and if you dont get it now for a fiver a month then claim shortly afterwoods.
But make sure you are insured for accidentall acinents (how you spell that)

i have tried drying it out on the radiator,i am getting picture and sound back up but it keeps buzzing(not like a bee roaldo)

give it a good kicking sorry think you might be owda luck on restoring this one but then again thincking about it my one would not switch back on properly for about 5-10 days so there could be hope there but dont put it on the rad it needs drying natuarly let us know how you get on...

Mr.P dropped his one in a puddle, however, was told NOT to mention this to the company as water damage wasn't covered, so, we put it on a towel, on top of the radiator for a few hours, sent it back and they were none the wiser.Hey presto, new phone !!!
Good luck x x

If you have got all the water out of it, take it back to where you got it and tell them it has stopped working and you're not sure why.

Dont mention the water damage!
