    Give CompuB a call, they should be able to recommend someone. Official Apple reseller or somesuch.

    Also a place on Wickham street, if you came up Thomas street to the very top and cross wicham street street and go down about 5 shops..in the direction of William street

    What mite be worth trying is wrap up in a towel and put into somewhere warm but not directly onto a source of heat ...a good place would be a hotpress

    Do not try and turn on for a few days and ur sure it has completely dryed out.

    If you plan on trying to get it fixed go to FONEMENDERS on catherine street only , do not go to any side street repair guys because they will end up messing your phone altogether

    Get a load of those little packet that come in most shoe boxes that are marked to be discarded immediately, place those with the phone in a sandwich bag wrapped in a tea towel in the hotpress. What I would do is call Apple directly, don't mention the water damage, they'll setup a return to base call for you, more than likely they'll just send you back a replacement/refurbished phone without even looking at yours free of charge, worst case scenario they'll call you to say that it would be chargeable, if you don't want to pay for it they'll send it back free of charge.

    Of course all the above depends on the phone be in warranty
