91% should be fine. Time shouldn't matter either so you should be good as long as you let it sit for a while.
I'm a freak but I'd let it go for at least a week to a week and a half. You miss it now, but just WAIT until you can't use it bc it's fried.
Also ... I don't know if I'd tell anybody you dropped it in the toilet ... or I guess you could if you didn't want anybody using your phone EVER AGAIN hehe
Finally, when I got my droid I spoke with somebody within V that said "OK. Cool - you don't want insurance. If you do in the future, you have 30 days (I believe ... it MAY have been 45/60) to add it." From what it sounds/sounded like, though, after that your SOL.

I can't believe nobody has asked this yet, but was the toilet used?

Covers stolen Droids though!!
Always nice to hear a happy ending.:icon_ banana::icon_ banana::icon_ banana:
From what I hear it does include phones that are damaged by water. What you are referring to are phones that are damaged by water under warranty. Warranty does not include water damage.
What should be emphasized more in the proper way to get your wet phone back to normal time is the time you let it sit after the alcohol. I let a BBerry sit for 3 days and I was stupid and couldnt wait and put the battery it an powered on and my pohne got hot as hell and then just died. For good. But I didnt care cuz I pay $6 a month for INSURANCE. Have insurance people. Shoot when a new phone comes out you can just smash your old one, send it in for a new one, sell the new on on ebay and then upgrade to the new one at the verizon store. I LIVE on that damn insurance.
Dropped Droid in water
Hey guys, dropped my Droid in water today
and this is what i did. First i did the ole battery pull and removed sd card. Next i put a load of clothes in the dryer and placed the phone on top of the dryer. When the dryer stopped i placed the phone in the dryer with the warm clothes. I figured what do i have to lose at this point fore i have no insurance. I did this 4 times from about 10:30 a.m. till about 4:00 p.m. The screen hazed over the first time but I proceeded. After the cycles i decided to take a chance and put the sd card and battery back in and what do you know presto. Not recommending this to anybody and not saying it will work for you but it did for me and i couldnt see wasting a good bag of rice waiting 3-4 days. :icon_ banana:
