Why on earth do you want to get inside it?

It just so happens that I have just this min re-built me P800 having cleaned it inside and out, so don't be afraid, rip it open!
I cant show you any pictures as I didn't bother taking any, I didn't think any one else would be as silly as me to even try and open up a P800!
But: I can talk you through it step by step, while its stil fresh in my mind. I have only opened up cheap Nokias before, E.g. Made a 6210 into a 6310 with new housing etc; so if I can do this, I suspect most could!
1)
Remove all the blue bits you can (The front flip, or flip replacement, the batt cover and the peice that surrounds the camera, these will just pull off, but don't remove the front top but, this is glued on! Remember to remove the Stylus and MSDuo.
2)
Get a T7 screwdriver, these are avaliable from most good electrical stores, Maplin sells these if you are in the UK.
3)
Remove the two T7 screws underneith the batt cover, and now might be a good time to remove the batt, if you have not done so allready.
4)
Remove the two T7 screws underneith the peice of blue plastic that surrounds the camera (The other blue bit on the back, above the batt cover.
5)
Firmly, but VERY BLOODY CAREFULY pull the back part of the housing free from the front, it will come just by pulling, it has a few clips that hold the front and back together, just be persistant and careful!
5)
Now you may nitice that the Jog Wheel is on the back cover, and is conected to the front, so gently pull it away from the back cover.
YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE THE BACK PART OF THE HOUSING FREE!
6)
Now, remove the T6 screws that secure the Chip Board to the front housing and gently remove the Chip Board, this will require you to pull the sides of the front housing gently to 'un-do' the clips that hold the board in place.
7)
Notice that the board is connected to the screen, and the two are seperated by a metal sheet? Remove the metal sheet and be careful not to detatch the screen from the board.
8)
Pull the sides of the front housing apart like you did to remove the Chip Board, and pull the screen away.
COMPLETE!
You now just have to remove the indervidual bits from the two housing peices, e.g. the Cam lense, the Vibration motor and speakers etc.
This seems quite complicated, but really it is not, its very simple and self-explanatory when you get stuck in.
Remember, if someone who has never done this before, can attempt, and successfuly complete this oporation, and re-build the phone (Do the above in reverse) it can't be that hard!
Now: Can anyone tel me where the hell to find new Graphite P800 housing in the UK?, and where the nearest SE Service Center is to Chester/Liverpool/Manchester.
Thank you.
P.S. DONT LOSE ANY BITS and only use meths to clean the P800 innards with, as it will evaporate quicker and be safer than using water (Takes long to evaporate so may rewin the P800 if you re-build it with water inside it!)
