Just recently purchased the white housing keypad and battery cover off ebay for like 35 bucks, just put it on today and it looks sharp. The paint job is very good and it came with the tools to put it on. Overall I am happy and would tell anyone who isn't sure that it is worth it. The only problem i had was that the keyboard they sent me a couple of the keys were not clicking... the Q, w, a and s keys. Wasn't a big deal though just removed the white cover off the keyboard they sent me and put it on my old one.
pretty cool, sucks about the keyboard though...and its really awesome that you got the hardware to take it apart with...did they send those to you with the case?
Looks sick!
I've always wanted a White BB, so I may look into this.
Btw,
One thing I don't like about my Berry being black is fingerprints, How is it on a white phone?
this is my white housing that i ordered on ebay for $16. it came from HK and is nicely painted or actually, it looks like its from blackberry themselves.
once installed, it looks awesome!
front of white bb 8900
back of white bb 8900
pros: -it came with every piece like a almost complete blackberry 8900.
-it was gonna be completely white front to back.
-keyboards and all buttons around the phone works.
-the black screen, black trackball and the fonts on the keyboard looks flushed together.
-the black side (core) and the bottom back **** (fm original housing) flushed nicely together.
cons: when you go thru the housing transfer, following all the steps is a since, but there were two things that were not transferable, the antenna and the camera that are sealed/glued/imprinted on the core of the black housing that comes with the phone.
antenna
camera
so eventually, my phone looks like an oreo where the cream is on the outside.
over-all its a nice and one of a kind look until someone see the pics and copies it, haha.
i just gotta put a clear shield on the housing so i dont destroy its paint!
(FYI: i drop my phone alot and when you do, it chips the paint so it'll look ugly)
