IPhone :: Saved 4s After It Went For A Swim?

Yup, my iPhone took a 1 minute swim in our backyard pool after I forgot it was in my pocket. D'oh! This happened on June 21st, 2012After I realized it, my sister shouted 'Turn it off' which I tried. Bad idea. It was asleep, and in retrospect I should have left it that way.Here's how I recovered it:1) Placed it in a tupperware container, covered it in rice and closed the lid2) Left it for 24 hours.3) Put it on charger.At first, the home button would not work at all, but evertually came back after the first 24 hour 'rice bath'. The sleep button would not work at all, so I put it back in the rice for another 24 hours.4) Home and sleep buttons now work. The screen lights up, but looks awful - there are water stains all over the screen and texts are nearly impossible to read, except in really low light.At this point, bluetooth was broken, and the camera would not work at all.5) Figuring I had nothing to lose, and expecting that the heat from the phone would continue to dry it, I started to use it. After about a week, the water behind the screen magically disappeared. The camera and bluetooth were still completely busted. Now I attempted to power it off, but it just restarted instead of powering off completely.

The camera just started working again this morning. Bluetooth also works. The only thing that is still busted is powering off (push home and sleep buttons simultaneously). It will only restart if I push these buttons. Oh well, small price to pay for my stupidity
My iPhone is still in warranty, but as we all know water damage is excluded. I'm glad I saved myself $199 on a repair anyways. Hope this helps some other p-oor soul down the line.
