Default Water Damage Blackberry

Dropped my Blackberry Torch 8960 onto my chest in the bath, must of been less than an inch of water, was there for a millisecond. Took the battery out, dried it with a towel.

Got out, dried it at a good distance with a hair-dryer for a few minutes but then put the battery back in, and it was working fine. Until it went off 20 mins later and won't come back on. I've read that you shouldn't do this as if there is any moisture left in it and you turn it on, it can damage the circuits etc?

I've now got it ontop of the kitchen cupboard in a freezer bag, battery out, with a silica gel packet on it. Hope to god it works.

But really, the question is, what sort of damage could I have done turning it on with moisture still inside it?

James
