Hey there singingfiend. I am sorry to hear about your phone taking a swim. I know from experience that they don't fair well in water.
If you are unable to get past this screen after charging the phone and taking out the battery the only thing we have left to try is a master reset. Visit http://vz.to/tC9oiG for steps on how to do a master reset. You are going to want to try the alternate master reset.
If this does not work we will have to take a look at replacement options. Do you have insurance on the device? If so you can place a claim with Asurion at www.phoneclaim.com. Are you upgrade eligible? Dial #UPG to find out. You can also purchase a phone through our Certified Pre Owned program. These are phones that are in like new condition and are sold at less than full retail. They also do not extend out your agreement so when your upgrade date comes you'll still be able to get the latest and greatest device.
Let us know if you have additional questions.
