Yup! Upon arrival for a one week vacation which all of our phone and internet connectivity was based on the Charge, PLOP! Right in the toilet!
There was that moment of shock and hesitation ("Did that just happen?!?!?"), and then I plunge my hand in there to retrieve my Precious. Off with the back plate! Out with the battery! No other option than to place it in the sun while waiting for the wifey to get through the car rental queue.
On the way to the hotel we add a bag of uncooked white rice to the needed "room refreshments". After leaving the store I can't resist the temptation to check out the Charge. It seems completely dry, what harm can come. So I pop in the battery and cross my fingers. Starts to boot up, but the boot sound is barely there and garbled . I let it boot completely up and check out the functionality and ... all seems fine! Except the speakers and mouthpiece seem f'd so into the rice you go. Left it in a ziplock bag with white rice and even a little desicant bag that was floating around my suitcase and VOILA!! The next day it was absolutely fine!
Here's the evil bathroom:
