sorry was going to send e-mail.

hold the phone and put thumb at the base of the aerial with the battery removed and gently rotate upwards.

works every time.

that technique only works if there's no hole in the frame as mentioned in the service manual? what if there's a hole? it say i have to use battery connector extractor tool to release the snap thru the hole. is there any other tool i can use besides that, because i have no idea how that tool work. thank!

i can assure you that i work on many of these phones every day (i own a repair centre) and never has it been necessary to use a special tool.

if you damage it i can send you a new one for £3.50

"hold the phone and put thumb at the base of the aerial with the battery removed and gently rotate upwards."

so after i remove battery, where do i put my thumb? at the base of the aerial? <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> where is that?

do i put my thumb near where the hole is and rotate anti-clockwise to unlock snap on the right and then do the same to unlock the snap on the left?

sorry for being to annoying because the 8850 i have isnt mine <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> sorry.
