Guys, can anyone give me some tips on how to clean the inside of the t68 joystick? DO I need to open everything up? If yes, then how? It's starting to feel grainy and unresponsive at times like it has a mind of it's own! Help.

Get urself Contact cleaner and spray it all over the keypad + joystick! It will remove dust and debris :-)

It is easy to take apart if that doesn't work.
You will though need a small size 'star-drive' screwdriver (size 8 I think)
There are two screws visible when you remove the battery and two under the top cover.
The top section just clips off, push down from the top and prise out the 2retaining clips(where top of batt would be) This then pulls off.
Remove all 4 screws and the front case will be released but u need to squeeze in the sides of the back to get it to clip off.
The joystick is now accessible.
Reverse instructions to put back together. Dont go overboard when tightening screws back up as they will crack the plastic.
Hope that kinda makes sense. It really is easy & not to be afraid of.

Only if you make it apparent that it has been opened. I didn't notice any kind of security tags or anything like that on my T68i or my P800.

@MikLSP, mine has a security sticker on top of the screw hole. So if I attempt to take the screw off it'll be damaged. anyway, I did take of the battery and brushed off the dust and blew air hard on to the small openings. Lo and behold, my joy stick is working well again!
