The short story is that you have to take every screw in the phone out and completely dissasemble it in order to change the screen! This is not for the faint of heart.
The front face plate is just glued down and can be pried up.

Design Dopod's P800W isn't an unattractive smartphone by any stretch of the imagination, but we still couldn't think of any description to put on it that was better than describing it as the Frankenstein's Monster of smartphones. Not because it has a ghastly green hue, or is covered in stitches and bolts, but simply because there are so many small parts of its design that instantly remind you of other phones with different capabilities. It's essentially a touchpad-driven phone unit with a large 2.8-inch (7.1cm) QVGA display screen -- par for the course -- that sits above a very Blackberry-Pearl-esque trackball. The rear of the P800W houses a 2-megapixel camera, and like the Navman N40i, it's possible to use this in conjunction with the P800W's embedded GPS receiver to embed co-ordinates into your photographs. The entire phone body is encased in smooth feeling silver-grey plastic -- Dopod refers to it as "Iron Grey" -- and with a size of only 108 x 58 x 16.8mm, this is a small and sleek smartphone, reminiscent of the more high fashion designs of phone houses such as Nokia or Motorola. Keeping with the Frankenstien motif, the P800W's stylus feels like it's come straight from the mad doctor's surgery; it's the sharpest PDA stylus we've ever used, and a danger to eyeballs everywhere. |

Tools needed: Screwdriver for removal of all the necessary screws. On my phone, it's a #00 phillips head, but my impression is that newer VX8800's use Torx T6 head. Just to be safe, make sure you have both.Soldering iron, preferably low-wattage.Ideally, a plastic pry tool to remove the old display, but in a pinch, a very thin flat-head screwdriver will work.A dental probe or sharp tweezers To disassemble your phone: 1: Remove your SD card. This probably isn't really necessary, but it's easy, and why take chances? 2: Remove the battery cover and battery. Remove the 4 screws that were under the battery.
