    Any of the guys in those mobile unlocking shops should have the special screwdrivers needed - after that... maybe compressed air?

    if sand got right into the phone under the 'express-on cover' you'll need to go to someone you trust to try and get it out - will need a torx screwdriver, some opening tools and knowledge of dis/reassembly for that model... if you don't know anyone like that an authorised service centre may offer a quote on attempting a repair (not likely to get a warranty repair)
