Help I dropped my Note 2 into a canal. Any point in trying to get it back now?

Hi

I dropped my Note 2 into a canal 7 days ago. Is there any point in retrieving it?
e.g. Will the SD memory card still work?

The insurance company have deactivated the IMEI number in any case, so the phone itself isn't much use. But I am hoping to get some of the data back. It is about 6 feet down in the bottom of cold water. I did dive in after it and spent about 10 minutes freezing my butt off but there was lots of other rubbish at the bottom of the canal and I never managed to find the phone itself (although I did find the flip case - but that would come off quite easily in any case)

Any thoughts?

Swappa not brilliant in the UK. None of these sites offer more than c. GBP 250 for a phone that my Three store charged me GBP650 !

I think I'll try for a private sale.

Welcome to the world of retail.
Always sell your old stuff yourself.
I got 15 dollars (6gbp about) for a verizon cdma flip phone without sd card slot or cammera but it was in mint condition. 2 months ago.
