I've never heard of this before but this doesn't actually sounds safe to put a phone in.
Actually, it isn't entirely tragic. Sure, I would not recommend boiling (literally) N900, but there exist high-efficient, "home" methods of fixing certain issues with motherboards (ball-type soldering getting lose on graphic chips) that include putting motherboard into 200 Celsius degrees oven for ~8 min

So, basically, this wasn't most clever thing to do, but could be worse. BTW, I've said that silicon gel can be re-used - after it accumulate hydration, You put it into 120 Celsius degrees owen for 2-3 hours (or, dehydrator ). So, it was basically done, but with N900 instead of silicon gel.
