anyone know how you open up with this fone
i dont see any screws anywhere
i tried to pull out them rubber things to see if screws are hidden behind that, but they are very hard to pull out, though if i tried harder i could probably get them out. but i dont wanna put them out if the screws arent there

the reason i need to open the fone is to get out the dust inside

Have you looked underneath the battery cover and battery, are the screws there?

I've never had a W880i let alone taken one apart so sadly can't help you much there, but under that batt cover would be a good place to start.

The other option is that the front fascia just unclips and the screws are underneath there

i think there are 2 rubber bungs at the top of the phone near the rear camera. underneath them there may be some screws.

if not, it looked like it when my mate showed me his w880i
