Replacement parts?

[sublime024]

Just picked up an 8530 to replace my tour (reception/trackball issues) and i'm as happy as can be! snappy UI, wifi (!) and trackpad make the deal for me, though i really do miss the sharper resolution screen and flash/more powerful camera but i don't really use my camera on my phone anyhow. I was looking on cnn.cn and truesupplier.com for a white housing and i noticed that they are offered for the 8520, are these parts interchangeable or is there a difference between the 8520 and the 8530 that would make that parts not compatible with the other model? thanks for all the info!

I was wondering the same thing...I was looking earlier....I thought about sending an email to someone somewhere!! If I find out, I will let you know. I love the phone too, but I do miss the flash on the camera.

i miss the flash as well, but at least we'll get open gl support when its available! another of the reasons i switched.

thanks for the response

Almost certain the parts are identical for the 8530 and 8520. Kind of like the 8310, 8320 and 8330.

I thought 8530 was just verizons number with wifi and I heard its the same as 8520. I wonder if its hard to swap out housing. The lcd cover seems branded into the casing. Ill check youtube for videos
