Hi Everyone,


i have a 9700 from swisscom in switzerland. it has a qwertz keyboard, and i am completly blacking it out. i am looking for a spare QWERTZ 9700 keyboard to buy off the internet. i have searched just about everywhere, incl. truesupplier, sw-box and so on. it doesent have to be a special color, just OEM and QWERTZ not QWERTY!

Thanks in advance

Greuzi. Swisscom will only supply QWERTZ keyboards. I lived near Geneva for 35 years. I know them well.

BlackBerrys with QWERTZ keyboards just CANNOT be modified to work as QWERTY phones. This is set at manufacturing time and that's that.


You can buy a new keypad but that is just a piece of plastic and it will look right but the Y and the Z will always be reversed. Sorry.

RIM, like many manufacturers do this deliberately to stop cross border sales. Texas Instruments caught a big cold with this a long time ago with their TI-99 gaves console when companies were buying cheap in one country and shipping them to others ans then selling at the local proce which was much higher.

Thanks, yeah i have quite some experience modding, you must have missunderstood me though, i am looking for a link to purchase the actual keyboard (QWERTZ)

i have found some QWERTZ keyboards for the 8900 and the 9000 but not the 9700


thx

i know cnn.cn sells an AZERTY keyboard, but i can't find a QWERTZ keyboard anywhere

Even if you do find one, the fix will only be cosmetic.

he's not trying to 'fix' anything, he just wants a replacement/spare QWERTZ keyboard for his already-QWERTZ BB.
