Default New Housing Review

I have been the happy owner of a Blackberry Curve 8330 for a year.

Last month, while getting out of my car, my holster came off my hip and crashed to the ground. The screen was cracked. Being broke (like everyone else I know) and somewhat a do-it-yourselfer, I got online looking for parts.

I found a great website that is really the subject of my review.
The site is www.sw-box.com. The prices are at wholesale with a selection is good. I ordered a new housing in pink, at about $31, the cost cheaper than any US site I've found. They even sold me the necessary tools for 30 cents! I used the cheapest shipping option, about $5.

In about 3 weeks, a little package arrived, I got on youtube, found an instruction video, and in less than 30 minutes, my broken Red housing was replaced with a brand new pink one!

Sw-box uses PayPal, and has several security certifications, It works for me!

Default Ebay fan

I bought my black housing for my 8330(it was silver) for 2$(+7$ shipping) on ebay(BIG DEAL), it was only the battery cover, the front face and the lens. I bought a chromed button kit, for talk/menu/back/end. originaly it was black, I convert it silver. 2$+0$ shipping.

My tool kit was 5$ shipping included.

Shipped in 3-4 weeks(I taken my parts from 3 different seller)

proof that internet is a great deal source!

When I had a 8330 I bought the housing off ebay and followed the instructional video on youtube.....
