    hi,

    I'm looking for a new metal frame for my Bold 9900. It has to be a original one, but all i can find is OEM/aftermarket/third party pieces.

    Anyone able to give me a hint, where to look?

    thanks a lot.

    OEM is (or at least 'should' be) original, so that's what you want to look for.

    thanks a lot for your replies.

    Story is, I had some "not so good" experiences with OEM parts (for the BB 9000) in the past. So i want to avoid them as much as i can.

    Any help is highly appreciated.

    edit: yes, I tried ebay. But problem is, nearly all sellers have the words "original" or "genuine" in their descreptions. I mean, are they trustworthy?

    Well, i had some good and bad experiences. I bought a pair of 'genuine' premium headphones which were appalling. But i bought a case which was perfect.

    Have a look at feedback, and go for the more expensive ones. Also, only buy from uk sellers and pay by paypal.

    Doesn't oem mean Original Equipment Manufacturer or does it mean something else these days?

    ie: Made by BlackBerry or the company that made it for BlackBerry.

    Original Equipment Manufacturer. But don't believe everything that has OEM stickied on it.
