First thing to do is switch the phone off and dont try to use it. Remove the sim card Usual advice is to place in a sealed bag of rice and leave it at least a week and hope that it drys out. Wipe all the surpluss water from the phone first with a dry cloth and tissues.

Best to leave it for a week if possible. Don't use a hairdryer as this tends to push water into all the crevicies.
I have seen the rice method used a few times quite sucessfully Good luck 
I've dropped a few in the loo (need to stop putting phones in my back pocket) and all of them have worked fine after leaving them to dry out for about a week. My Blackberry was still going strong 4 years later after a trip in Toys R Us toilet.
