My iPhone just met the toilet yesterday (HELP!)

[Bee]

Long story short my iPhone ended up taking a dip into the toilet yesterday 

[color= rgb(255, 255, 0)]i let it dry out for a few hours, hit it with the blow dryer, then turned it on and everything worked except for the backlight.[/color]

[color= rgb(255, 255, 0)]i start listening to music to see if my speakers worked and shortly after everything turned off and the apple logo is stuck on the screen.[/color]

[color= rgb(255, 255, 0)]Occasionally the logo comes off and the phone looks like its off but when i text my iPhone from my BB i can hear my received text alert.[/color]

[color= rgb(255, 255, 0)]My question is, is there anyway of saving my iPhone and getting off of the apple logo screen?[/color]

[color= rgb(255, 255, 0)]if not is there anyway i can get all of the information off of this iPhone and transfer it to my new one once i buy it?[/color]

[color= rgb(255, 255, 0)]I have countless pics, numbers, and get it crackin vids and if i lose all of that i'm gunna be a sad puppy[/color]

blow dryer..your #1 mistake brah...

had you have not done that, you could have been fine. Blow drying it spreads the water and is a common mistake....you live and you learn

Plug it into itunes and did you put it into a bag of rice

Yeaa i actually did let it sit in a ziplock bag with rice last night.. Stupid me didn't have a back up. iTunes does recognize my iphone when i plug it up tho, how do i backup my files now before i try to restore my phone?

I remember like 3 years ago when I dropped mine in the toilet.

You shoulda let it sit in a bag of rice for like a week at least.

My 4 fell into a sink full of water for about ~5-10 seconds and um, well. For the first couple hours it was goin' haywire but now it's working like the day I bought it.

Last summer my wife jumped into a pool after my oldest daughter(she was fine, had on floaties, just a dramatic 6 yr old) with her Iphone in her back pocket.  Needless to say, she was volcano hot when she came home.  Me, figuring I had to do something fast before my daughter met the same fate as the iphone, bolted out the door like Ben Johnson on roids and headed straight for the AT&T shop.  "Give me a phone"..."Uh, sir, you're not due for an upgrade it'll be 500".."Man, this is life and death, now just box that s2#t up"...I race back to the house and hand my wife her new phone(only after I made sure my child was still breathing). She gives me one of those Jabba the Hutt grunts and I walk away satisfied that at least my daughter will be able to make it out of elementary school.   Meanwhile, a week passes and the old phone is just sitting out on the bar untouched.  I start messing with it and for the hell of it, decide to plug it into itunes.  Apple logo...phone...no problems.  I hadn't done anything to it.  No heat, no rice, just some time.  Just let it dry out and plug it into Itunes.  You might get lucky.
