I am sorry to hear that, I don't think it can be repairable, please, when you buy another phone, be careful with it.. Especially when it is an N9..

for future drowning cases: i once learned to flush the water out of electronics by dipping it in pure denaturalized alcohol. It drives the water out of the device, preventing it from rusting in the long run. After that you should let it dry, like described above.
good luck...

The white spots on the circuits below is what is left from letting the water dry.
This guy on the picture was lucky enough that the circuits was on the underside of the card , and that the water thanks to gravity dried on the plastics and not on the circuitboard.

... and there is plenty of those chemicals in a washingmachine.
