I have an 8310 and I want to put it inside an 8330 housing, and I want to know if anyone has done this or if anyone knows that it will fit.

The 8300/8310/8320 is a different housing from the 8330 so it will not fit.

Yup- won't fit. But there IS a red 8310 housing:

Same website, different section. Unbranded too.

Ive seen people post on here that an 8330 fit onto their 8300/10/20 blackberry.

It covers the LED light. Plus. The 8330 is thicker.

I have the red 8310 now. I origionally wanted the red 8330 housing because of the buttons, i wanted the black call, options, back, and end buttons.

[Navan]

you can buy the buttons separately.

you can buy the buttons separately.

you can buy them, but they are shaped differently for the 8330.

But the LED indicator on the 8300/10/20 is just a peice of plastic. The real LED on the mobo is going to blink no matter where the LED indicator is on the housing. I think it would fit but the light might not be as bright.

On my 8300 if you watch the blinking LED its brightest at the bottom of the LED indicator and gets darker as it goes up, so with the different spot on the 8330 i think it would be the opposite where the top of the LED indicator will be brighter.

I have an 8330 and killingwthasmile is right, the led is brighter on top. I'm pretty sure its just the led cover is in a different spot on the cdma vs gsm models. I've also seen an 8330 housing on 8300/10/20 and vice versa. Yeah the buttons are shaped a little different, but they prob contact the inside guts of the blackberry just the same.

It's already well established that this is the case (pun intended).
