3G has more plastic casing than the old? might be a problem, dunno. on her phone(not 3G) the black plastic at the bottom back buckled very slightly, but hardly noticable.

just about half inch of long grain rice in a baking tray so the phone didnt touch anything metal.
it's really a last resort if all else fails. the phone seemed completely useless therefore binnable so I gave it a go.
I baked it on lowest oven with the oven door slightly open for about 3 hours, the first time the screen only worked partially afterwards, the second time it worked mostly, then after a couple of weeks it was fine.
I was worried the solder and stuff might mnelt inside but it was fone. As I say though, you have to be prepard in case it kills the phone totally!
luckliy as soon as she had dropped it down the loo she came home and put it in a sealed poly bag with rice for a couple of weeks which got most of the water out anyway, so I was only dealing with moisture under the screen and not sloshing water. She's a brainbox.

What type of rice did you use? And would this work on an iPhone 3G?

Is your mobile phone Kosher or Jekyll?
Press
*#06# and the international mobile equipment identity number appears.
Then check the
7th and 8th numbers:
IF the SEVENTH & EIGHTH digits are 02 or 20, this means your phone was assembled in the Emirates and is bad quality
Seventh & Eighth digits 08 or 80? Your phone was manufactured in Germany, which is OK quality
Seventh & Eighth digits 01 or 10? Your phone was manufactured in
Finland, which is very good
Seventh & Eighth digits are 00: your phone was manufactured at the original factory and is the best quality
Seventh & Eighth digits are 13 - this means your phone was assembled in
Azerbaijan, which is very bad quality and possibly dangerous .
Mine's 02 - Emirates.

try removing the battery, not just switching it off/ on.
remove it and replace it after about 10 seconds - then see if the phone powers up
