well I also was hoping that they would work because I like the white keyboard on the 8300. I may try it anyway as I have to take the 8300 apart to see if I can fix some minor things. I already know that the shapes arent the same as I can visually look at them and tell that. the send and end buttons flair at an angle and the 8300 send/end buttons are square on the ends.

I just now saw amazinglygraceless's post. So the keyboard tray will fit just not the send end buttons and all. Thanks

here is a picture of the white keyboard installed in a 8330

watch out when disassembling an 8330 as they have started to put tamper tape over the assembly screws. if you need help
I can tell you what I did.
