    The guru at Apple used the pin that opens the sim holder to clean mr suki's phone out

    That's a bit worrying!

    I would recommend using something nonmetallic (plastic etc) as a metallic item could easily damage the rather flimsy connection pins. It could even short them out!

    In the Apple store they always used the SIM removal pin so I assume a thin paperclip is OK too. If you have one then a compressed air duster can be used too.

    I suppose that at least if it does damage the connector/phone, then Apple will put it right at their expense?

    Personally, I would still use something non-metallic or even the compressed air duster suggested.
