I need to get the faceplate of this phone off for a few reasons:
1) There is dust under my screen
2) The clip that holds the back plate on has come off and i would like to try and get it back on.

I see no screws to remove the faceplate and I can't seem to unlatch it either. Anyone know how?

Thanks.

If you remove the battery cover you will notice 4 slots or openings around the outside edge in the black plastic housing. One on each side around the middle, and one on each side around the bottom. You fit a VERY small flat head jewelery screwdriver into those openings and slide it in between the bit of silver metal tab you can se and the black plastic outside frame. Gently pry the silver tabs inward while gently pulling the silver metal housing apart. I did this by sliding my fingernail between the edge on the outside of the phone where the silver front frame meets the black plastic that borders the center of the phone. Slowly pop the silver metal frame out at each of the 4 spots and then just slide the metal face up and off!
However, what your then left with is the phone with no face and the board and rest are secured using several VERY small screws (you need a special screwdriver for this)

Once you take off the faceplate. you see tiny screws (6 of them). Unscrew them and then you can pull the motherboard and the screen. Then you pull out the camera compartment by unclipping it in 2 places and you are left with the body of the phone. The outer back cover can actually be taken without all this fuzz as it only nicely clips tot he carcass. try taking it out gently using a tiny screw driver or a knife. Let me know if you have issues doing this and I can give you more details
