So a few days ago i ordered White housings for Tour / Bold / Javelin
Here is the tour housing, i tried to put it on my tour & i kinda failed, i broke my 8gig memory card in the process inside the phone but sprint gave me a brand new one with a good trackball this time *what a diff* Anyways, i had it on, but then noticed the bottom part where the Sprint logo would go woudl look rediculous, nothing would be there, i tried to pop the bottom part part off the original housing but couldn't, the top part pops out and goes on the white housing but the bottom one i couldnt....They also forgot to send me the White keypad for the tour, so either way it would have looked silly with a black keypad...The only white keypad for the tour now which is out has English & Arabic letters on it..would have worked for me since i'm Egyptian. Here are some pics. i'm also including the pic for the white tour keypad, which i was supposed to recieve but didn't
No it was never finalized, like i said, once i got to the point where i broke my memory card inside its slot, then had trouble popping the Sprint Logo part off the original housing, i just gave up, i had had it..lol, so i just put the original housing on, and since i needed to get a new Tour becuz of trackball issues i went and got a new one from sprint...
I also attempted putting the bold housing on, but couldn't get the buttons on the white keyboard to click..lol

Overall its pretty cool but needs some tweaking!
Dont give up..!! Someone around here knows something about installing 3rd party blackberry housing...Goodluck..!!
i today just did the same thing with my memory card putting on the black housing.. Everything else went smoothly. What did you say to sprint did you tell them ? What did you say? Thanks.

well my trackball was horrible to begin with, the guy at the sprint store couldn't even use my tour cuz he couldn't control the trackball, so pretty much they replaced it immediatley and didn't care about the memory card

Well one of the screws on the phone has a white small sticker on it covering the head, make sure you remove that with a razor finley so they dont see you messed with it...i myself just screwed rite through it and it was cut off, but when i went to sprint yesterday to get a new tour, they didn't say anything about it!
