As far as i know you cant buy the frets that go in between the keys believe me ive looked allover if i was you i would order me another oem keypad or just pull the rest of the frets out actually the keypad dosent look that bad without them

ive stated this numerous times before.....here are some points and options.
1.) replacing the keyboard, requires dismantling the phone. this voids your warranty. if you really want to, buy the replacement keypad and do the swap, replacing the warranty sticker as you go. try at your own risk, it really isnt hard at all.
2.) returning a phone or getting a warranty replacement over the frets is a waste and is silly over such a minor thing.
3.) they dont sell just the frets or ones in any color (at least that ive seen).
4.) pry the remaining bits out. they are held in by three little plastic tabs. this is what i have done to mine and it looks alot better without them. - 05-06-2010, 02:31 AM #9 I had 3 cracked frets on my current keyboard. After seeing your post, I couldnt stand it anymore and decided to just break them all. The keyboard does NOT look better without these frets lol. Im not blaming you in anyway, just a personal preference

Go Team BlackBerry! - 05-06-2010, 03:26 AM #10 i have noted in other threads that it does leave somewhat odd looking spaces between the keys and holes below T,G and V which light shines through. however, its a minor appearance change that does complete the all blacked out look. i realize that some people may not like it, which is why in other threads i included pics. for this reason, i offered the other option of replacing the keypad on his own however would void the warranty.
