How do you disassemble the phone down to the motherboard?

Does anyone know how to disassemble/tear down this phone? Photos are nice, video is great! I can't find a good guide online and I need it quick to repair some water damage! I can see moisture inside the camera lens, which is normally inacessable.

I used a knife to break apart the whole philips phone for a tech project. I didn't have the right screwdriver, so I had to painstakingly lever up the motherboard out of the things holding it and saw away at the case with a surgical stainless steel breadknife.:/
