We got the Nokia 1661 last week (SO 1/2 off promotion! yay) only to lose it to a poorly aimed water balloon at a picnic over the weekend. Grrr >:( I did manage to save the SIM card, but the phone itself is completely toast.
Location is London, ON.

did you try taking the phone, cover, battery out and leaving it in a bowl of dry rice overnight?

Didn't try the rice. Instead I took the battery and SIM out and dried out all the pieces in front a fan for approx. 40 hours before I even attempted to turn it back on. No dice. Luckily the SIM card did work in another phone.
It was expected. I only discovered the phone was water damaged when it started emitting a high-pitched "squealing" noise from the purse it was in. I immediately took it apart and noticed it was very hot to the touch 🙁
