    Hi all, has anyone tried the full housings they sell on Ebay? I was hoping to get a full black housing fo rmy BB curve 8310. But I don't want to end up with some piece of junk.

    Any and all advice is appreciated. Or if there is a better source for OEM housings for the 8310 in black that would be even better.

    I'm picking up a silver and black tonight and also want to change it to all black. Cnn.cn is a good place. Man, that 8900 Curve looks sweet!

    Well I have the 8310, and I did look on cnn.cn, but did not find the BLACK housing. I was looking for the complete housing, not just the rubber skins.

    Thanks

    The 8330 will NOT fit on the 8310. They are different. I don't personally know how good they are, but I've looked at sellers feedback, and the for the mostpart look like people are happy. I want an all white one myself.

    An option some other folks have been doing in other forums is sanding them down and painting them. I saw this one that was airbrushed and it was stunning! Had kinda like an abstract art theme going.

    Really the 8330 will fit the 8310? I was told that they wouldn't. I would love a colorware, but they cost wayyy too much.

    A black 8330 keypad and keyboard tray would be needed for the all black look. In the above thread, the OP has the black keyboard tray, but not the black keyboard.

    It was my first time, and I ain't gonna lie. I was sweating bullets...

    Watch the youtube videos a couple of times and keep in mind that the small bottom cover doesn't come off as easily as in the video, not by a long shot. The antenna and microphone is under there, so don't gouge them with the screwdriver you will need to pry the bottom cover off. Also, the front cover is pretty difficult as well (at least for me). Main thing to remember is, take your time, don't force anything, and be gentle with the small T5 screws or you will break them.

    Sweet! That looks like the one, but as mentioned doesnt have the black key board or black home keys, It doesn't look like they sell the black home key buttins either.

    peeps who have order from Cnn.cn - remember that because they are in Hong Kong - the shipping could very well take anywhere from 2 weeks to i have seen a month or better.

    there is a site (and a member on here) called bbenrich or something similar he ships from us and canada from what i have read.

    here is his site -
