Get it in a bag of rice in the airing cupboard as soon as you can, and if you can get the battery out too that's even better. Do not try and turn it on until you've dried it our for at least 3 days

it was turned on could it be dead cause it was turned on? or it doesn't matter and the battery could be used again? as i read that people who was able to turn their phones after the incident vibrate and then shutdown mine doesn't do anything at all!

As for specific N9/Meego advice, I don't really know, I'm new to N9s...I'm actually trying to get advice on flashing my (dead) N9 in another thread right now

When wetting any electronic equipment, remove all power source if possible (battery), put in a can with silica gel (better than rice, and not really expensive).
For 2 to 4 days. Don't try to turn it on before.
For you it's probably too late, but next time you'll know

Three tips to best recover wet electronics.
Submerge in rice or better still silica gel ASAP
Don't use direct heat (hairdrier etc), let it dry naturally.
Don't switch it on for as long as possible, it must be completely dry. (3> days) leave it a week if you want to be sure.
Good luck recovering your device.
