So my wife just washed my 5 week old black Finnish 64 GB N9 with the dark laundry (kind of thought I should have gotten a white one exactly for these visibility issues). Anyway, it's dead as a door nail, and I don't think I'll even bother to take it to Nokia Care here in Perth Australia - since it's not even under an Australian guarantee and I doubt that water damage is covered anyway.
So, after lots of tears, she's stepped up to the plate and is willing to buy me another one - but they are sooooo expensive here that I thought I would get it from the place I bought the original one, atgsm in NY, and have them send it to me here in Australia. Any Australians have an idea what the best way to do this would be to minimize customs import duties?

7) bury it in a pot full of rice... the rice will absorbe all its remaining moisture in 1 or 2 days...
9) turn on your N9.. Hopefully it will Work. "where is 8(I don't like 8)..
GODbless you

1) open all the possible ports n9 is having eg sim port, micro usb..
2) keep n9 in standing position a bit tilted on the screen side.. with sim slot facing up
3) take a blow dryer, fix it at a safe distance form n9.. not too close.. at a safe distance so n9 can get the heat via hot air frm it...
4) keep it running as long as possible...approx 3hrs as much as your dryer can handle.. its cheaper then n9 anyways..
5) hopefully moisture will get released from the top slots..
6) don't turn it on yet..
7) bury it in a pot full of rice... the rice will absorbe all its remaining moisture in 1 or 2 days...
9) turn on your N9.. Hopefully it will Work. "where is 8(I don't like 8)..
GODbless you
