Tools required: Phillips size 0 screwdriver, plastic tool such as a guitar plectrum or credit card.
Remove your battery, sim and memory card. Six screws need to be removed. Two at the top of the phone are covered by plastic stickers which will peel off.
Run something like a credit card around the join of the battery compartment to release it from the rest of the phone.
With the battery compartment removed your phone should look like below. Two ribbon connectors (circled) need to be disconnected. Each one attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever them up to unplug. You'll then be able to lift the two green circuit boards away from the rest of the phone.
Your phone should now look like below. Remove the six screws you can see and then you can remove the next layer of the phone, as shown in the next photo.
Your phone should now look like below. Remove the two circled screws. 
Run your plastic tool along the join of the front cover in order to release it.
Your phone should now look like below. Two ribbon connectors (circled) need to be disconnected. Again, each one attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever them up to unplug.
Lever the camera out with your plastic tool. It is stuck down lightly with double sided tape and should come away easily. 
Lift the screen away from the front cover. It should be loose. Next peel away the big black piece of sticky tape (indicated by the red arrow below). Now slide your plastic tool under the LCD screen to separate it from the green circuit board. It will be stuck down with double sided tape. Once the double sided tape has been released, pull the screen in the direction of the blue arrow.
You should now have the small LCD screen removed. Note that the parts circled below are the socket and ribbon. The ribbon from the LCD slides into the socket. Reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.
