Ah sorry, jus a feeble suggestion on my part, but I do have a W880 great phone, you'd need to spk to sum1 a bit more technically minded than me about that, although I doesn't seem many people take the W880 apart, if you need to I do know that there is a screw or 2 under the walkman sticker on the front, and if you remove that you are likely to need a new sticker (they're cheap on ebay) and then I think 3 on the back.. but theres a thread about taking the phone apart... well the cover off anyway, sorry I can't be of any more help

@ridaz: do a search with the keywords: w880 apart. I know there's a thread about it. Hope you find it. Right now i'm not able to do the search for you.

If it's the same design as other recent SEs, the mic will be a small black box on the phone's mainboard at the bottom, and if giving it a good clean with a toothbrush doesn't help then it's probably knackered.
It will need a new one soldering into place and it looks like a tricky job unfortunately
