I recently had to repair a Nokia E65 which fell "down the drain". Disassemble, wash in deionised water, reassemble. There is a stage in assembling the slider which basically requires hammering it in place with the spring held by some black magic. Nearly impossible to reproduce by hand and definitely impossible to do without leaving some screwdriver/wedge traces. Anyway, IIRC the damn thing had only 2 screws altogether and none of them particularly critical. Rest was held together mostly by friction. Way cheaper to assemble than the countless motorola screws. Ditto for Apple using glue.

Motorola as usually is not up with the times
Screws? How prehistoric...
