An illustrated guide explaining the dissection of the phone. While it is quite possible to take it apart using easy to find tools we'd recommend against it as it will undoubtedly void your warranty and will most likely mash up the beautiful gadget's exterior.
To replace the LCD screen first remove the sim holder. To do this, push something like a needle into the small hole at the top of the phone. Push down and the sim holder will pop up. Use the opening tool, or something strong with a thin edge (something plastic is best because a metal tool will damage the case), to pull the antenna cover off. Some force is required.
You will need these tools to get the cellphone open: a Phillips size 0 screwdriver, a plastic tool such as a guitar plectrum or credit card, a needle/drawing pin/paperclip or something similar. With the cellphone upright, push something like a paperclip into the hole at the top of the phone. This will release the SIM card holder.
