    I am thinking about changing my bezel to black because I did it on my wife's 8900 and it was easy and looks awesome. I imagine changing the bezel on this one is the same. What do u think?

    Has anyone done this mod yet? Pictures would be appreciated!

    Are you talking about like a matte black? Or just the shiny black that us Verizon Tour users get by default?

    Drop bezel into (Super Clean).
    I used it on my 8330 trackball rings ,24 hours of soaking and flat black color will be had.
    I'm going to do whole faceplate getting rid of chrome color between keys & Bezel on day 31 of owning turning my Tour into Stealth Tour.

    I will never again take apart a BlackBerry. Far too fragile and easy to mess something up. Far too many reports on other phones of headphone jacks failing to work ever again after a re-assembly, etc. (this happened to me too on my Curve).

    Yeah it can get scary taking apart but if you watch a few take apart video and take your time no harm will be done pulling off faceplate.
    The only thing that makes me nervous putting back together is screw tork ,My screen has zero ripple and I want to keep it that way.

    Compared to other Berries, Tour is actually one of the easiest to disassemble if all you want to remove is the faceplate. Patience and the right screwdriver is all you need.

    After watching a few videos I think its almost the same as the 8900. I am a little worried about the top plate it looks like it just pops off. On the 8900 it came off with screws.

    I think I'm going to order my black bezel because its going to look BA

    its not black. he is talking about the bezel. the side pieces. those are a titanium color. i think the verizon one looks perfect. as for changing the color, i would do colorware, though 129 minimum is a little much.

    I believe this is what people are referring to:


    It is an all black bezel from CNN.cn.

    I was thinking about that all white look as well. Very cool and clean looking. But that means I cannot use a case because it would be a waste of money! I think I am just gonna stick with my Innocase when it comes out.
