Default Swap to Curve-style keyboard?

I carry both a 9700 and a 9300. I hate the keyboard on the 9700 and would really like a keyboard with space between the keys like on the Curves. Is anybody aware of a replacement housing and keyboard for the 9700 that provides this? Or has anybody attempted to make a custom housing themselves?

nope u will not able to implement curve keyboard on the 9700.just sell your 9700 and buy a curve 9360 since u seem fond of the curve keyboard.if u plan on selling ur curve 9300 then will pay anywhere between $50-$140.there is no chance you will find a curve housing for 9700.

Just sell the 9700 and keep the curve, use the extra money from the sale for a new blackberry curve when the time comes. That's what I would do. You can't use a curve keyboard or custom housing like that on the 9700.

Apparently, you can. You just have to bought yourself a piece of 8980 keyboard and do as follow :

Tinhte.vn

The language is Vietnamese but you have google translate. The photos are quite self explanatory as well, you shouldn't have any problem with that.

Can this be done the other way round? For example putting bold keys onto a curve 9300? Because I hate these frigging keys!!!!!

Can't do it, if you already read every post and reply.
