Is there any way to get dust out of there? I have a couple particles in the screen. It's getting annoying.

I had dust in my screen. You can just take it apart and clean it. This is what I did, and I offer no guarantees. Proceed at your own risk.
First take apart the removable face plate, and removed the four black screws. Next pry it open carefully, and inserted a dry Q-tip to remove the dust. After that, reversed the process to put it back. Nothing was ever separated from the phone.

It's a Torx screwdriver. #9 I believe. Search for "Torx" and you should find it.
Also, mgoblue: did that let you get at the hinge? I would like to try to tighten it while cleaning it.

Yeah I used a very small Torx to remove the screws, but I'm not sure the number size.
As for the hinge, I wasn't able to separate it enough to get at it, only to slip a Q-tip in to clean the dust. Like I said, I had to pry it open. It looked like some rubber cement or epoxy was holding things together after the screws were removed. So I went really slow.

Compressed air works just as well too. I usually use a Torex T6 to unscrew.

Ebay sells Torx 6 screwdrivers cheap. Usually a few dollars including shipping. That's where I got mine.
