Where to buy Blackberry 9810 White housing?

**LOY80Y** · 05-23-2012, 02:17 AM

Im planning to buy a new LCD glass then i thought i might as well change the housing as it is scratched but i cant find an OEM white torch 9810 housing? can anyone help me where i can get one? need it to be sent to australia.

Has anyone tried fitting a 9800 housing on a 9810 and fits perfectly?

any differences with the white housings for the 9810 and 9800? i know there was slight colour differences with the white 9700 and white 9780. one was brighter.

Already checked that ages ago and every week since. Sold out. Even emailed them and they told me a few weeks. Still no stock.

I haven't done a complete swap, but I know the mid, and bottom chassis as well as the bottom bezel from the 9800 will fit the 9810, so theres no reason to think the LCD bezel from a 9800 wouldn't fit either.

Used the same keyboard so I'm not sure about that one. Looking at the 9800 and 9810 they look the same, but there may be small differences one cannot see with the naked eye.

I have ordered a ton of parts from truesupplier over the last 8 or so years, always come quick and exactly as described with 0 damage from shipping. only company I trust for BB parts.

Thats true. Some suppliers told me that they are the same and some say it isnt. So im confused. May just stick with getting 9810 parts to be on the safe side.

Yea they seem ok but the build quality is crap. Dont know what you order though. But i am very picky when it comes to good parts.

Friends told me that some cracked easily after short use, colour faded very quick (supposedly oem case). i ordered a few things myself just to see how they are and found the quality of the kb was crap compared to another supplier i have been dealing with for so long. they couldnt even get the print straight on the kb, was different colors of whites, etc.

The suppliers ive been dealing with are very good. if im not satisfied i get sent a replacement straight away. They have been also getting advice off me. lol.

the odds are very slim that you'll get OE quality from non-oe makers, simple. I have yet to see a replacement housing for any phone model with the same quality. They are either cheap, flimsy, don't fit right, a combination of them all.

True supplier is a wholesaler ontop of selling publicly, so the odds are the third party housing you buy will be from the same factory or truesupplier directly.

got a reply from dealsishop stating that they were having a hard time getting them in. the 9800 does work on the 9810; the only difference is the number of screw holes on the front panel.
