    did you mess up on the mirrored part on the battery door or is that a reflection? either way i like it. it will look sweet with the blacked out screen and keyboard. what did you use to black out the trackball?

    this titanum housing has become a test subject lol. i could care less what goes wrong with it since im getting a new one in the mail. but i almost dont wanna keep the new one since its a glossy black. and i really like the flat black. so i might just sell it when i get it

    Couldn't you have combined all your threads. Good work but still you have a thread for the Trackball, then the Keyboard, and now the phone.....


    Seems repetition to me...... But don't take this the wrong way okay...... But just think about it...

    The back cover looks really scratched, but I guess that's due to you sanding it down. Also the used-to-be silver circle around the trackball looks kinda sketchy, but it looks awesome. I wish I had enough nerve to murder out mine. I like how you colored your red and green-phone buttons black too. Just get that black keyboard and screen housing, and it'll be finished.

    Was that a whole's day job? You painted it then slapped it back on? I dont feel like ordering a new case, so I was thinking of doing the same thing.

    Also did you just sand and paint or primed it also?

    What ever your process how long did it take for you to murdah your berry

    it was way to easy to do! and you can do it as well.it took me probably no more that 30 minutes. all i did was get a nail filer, some black nail polish, nail polish remover, a t5 screw driver, a baby wipe and youre good to go (if youre a girl and already have these things) lol

    1. remove the battery cover

    2. then i popped off the little piece at the bottom that has your providers name on it. start with the back part though and then push it towards the front of the phone and it will pop right off (it wont break, just pull it hard)

    3. after that i took off the battery cover and unscrewed the housing with a t5 screw driver that i got at sears for 4 bucks. then i removed the housing.

    4. then i got my handy dandy nail filer and filed away! the silver paint that was coated on there was not thick at all so not much filing was needed.

    5. then i got a baby wipe and wiped off all the housing lol

    6. next, i got my paint ready. i mixed black nail polish with nail polish remover and spread one thin coat over the housing with the nail polish brush

    7. youre all finished! let it dry for like 10 minutes, reassemble the housing and youre good to go!

    as for my black bezel, i sanded that too. and the trackball has the same nail polish mixture and is a solid matte black.

    good luck! hope this helps
