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?

You should split the cost with your wife. It's not her fault you left it in your pants pocket is it?

Prices are actually good in Oz, even compared to to EU/Asia, & def. compared to US.
Have you tried any decent shopping search engines???
They'll reveal the online retailers out there with the best prices.
OTTOMH mobicity & mobileciti are two very good ones.
One of them doesn't do Australian stock though IIRC (slightly cheaper as a result).
Price has dropped heaps in the last 3-months or so...

You can probably sell the micro usb door and sim try to recoup some cost. Im sure someone would buy the body on ebay.

Let it dry out for a long time (months). I have an Ericsson T65 (~2000-2001 ?) that had a full spin in the washing machine (3hrs @ 50C) and is stil working.....

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

YMMV but worth a shot, unless he just wants an excuse to get a shiny new N9
