    I have the 8320 in Sunset Red which I didn't want but it was the last one they had
    I found the housing for the 8330 with home keys and keyboard in black and/or Titanium.

    On to the question: Could I transfer the guts and midplate out of the 20 into the 30 and it still be functional?

    Yes, but you will be voiding the warranty by doing that. At the very least keep the original housing and parts just in case you need to get a warranty exchange.

    I saw in another post that someone had an 8320 and switched to the 8330 housing without any problems or modifications.

    I would not recommend this course of action. I did what you are wishing to do pn my pearl and I bricked my flash, my headphone jack and ALL OF MY KEYS ON THE SIDERAILS. All because I didn't like the color of my berry. If you choose to do this though, I wish you the best of luck.

    Sorry it was just over 30 days... I got my phone on December 6th and noticed the screen dust on January 10th when I took it in.

    I figured if they are gonna send me a refurbed phone I'm gonna at least make it the way I want it.

    Yeah It's been too long now to go back... When I realized it was a refurb I called in but they said it was all they could send out.
    I did get a free spare battery, a 4 gig MicroSD card, a car charger and a spare travel charger

    Yup I definitely think I am doing this.

    Now to decide all black, Titanium, or silver

    Something to consider. The black housing is a black plastic material through and through. I know the silver is painted, I'm not sure about the titanium. The point is paint can be scratched off and will end up looking beat up unless you use something to protect the phone.

    I have a few different cases of different styles. I have the clear plastic clam shell type, I have the Cellet flip lid leather kind, I have the original one it came with, and I have a Silicone Skin.

    I like accessorizing apparently
