1. Turn off the phone by holding down the "PWR" (or "END") button

2. Flip the phone over so that you are looking at the back

3. There will be an arrow indented into a plastic piece. Slide the plastic in the direction the arrow points

4. Pull off the plastic, this is the battery cover, after this you should see the battery.

5. Orient the phone so that the text on the battery is right side up. There will be an indent on the lower left side of the battery.

6. Stick you thumbnail between this indent and the battery and pry it out, it shouldn't take much force and it should just pop out. If it does, you are probably prying in the wrong place.
