Lol, sorry man that sucks.

I suggest maybe a Q-tip, or you could try compressed air (like to clean a computer). Maybe a toothpick...i'm guessing its everywhere...

I'd say send it in for a replacement :P

Try a Vacuum cleaner with the crevice tool.

isnt this the new version storm?

The all new sand storm. Instead of the lightning bolt you see sand under your screen.

Haha I was there last weekend well for a quick fix u can try and suck some of the sand out it sounds wired but it helps then I used an air compressor and blew the rest out, if you use a powerful air compressor be careful I almost blew the buttons off when I did it haha

Try the air in a can keyboard cleaner to blow the sand out

Call customer service and say you are having a bad dust prob under the screen. Have them note your account so you can switch it out at a store on the spot.

And why in your wild imagination do you think getting sand in the phone is covered under warranty?

I also got sand in my curve yesterday at the beach. Trackball was stuck. Got some compressed air and blew it out. Fixed it right up. Lesson learned sand and berries don't play well together.

Damm must have a good night out lol.

haha, i had to open this thread.. i have a constant problem with sand in my Storm. Sometimes my screen/buttons don't click cuz there's sand stuck underneath, so i just shake it a little and the sand falls out.

i heard we are not supposed to use duster--it will void the warranty.

[becmow2]

why do you take your phone out on the beach?

the beach should be for playing in the water and turning brown...

hope you're able to get the sand out.
