Hey!
I'm Daniel from germany...I say that, because my english is not the best. ;o)
I've the curve8900 and the silver comes of the cover in little parts at the display.
Now I want to change the silver cover...perhaps it's the chance to costumize my curve!
But where could I buy original parts or parts in a really good quality? Do you have some links for me?
And could I make the costumazing self? Are there any instructions online, how I could change the cover or the ear cap and keyboard self?
Thank you very much for your help!

First, static is your enemy. Work on a regular kitchen table on a non-carpeted surface.
Don't wear sweaters, fleece, etc. Nothing that can build up a charge very easily.
Before doing anything, ground yourself. If in fact you're in the kitchen then just touch the stove or sink with your hand, then you'll be discharged. Also touch the metal part of your screwdriver to the sink in case it carries a charge.
When you disassemble the housing, try not to touch the main boards no matter how appealing that may seem. If you do have to touch them then just hold it by the edges and try not to make contact with anything on the board itself.
And stop rubbing your feel together if you wear anything but cotton socks, you'll build a charge.
Other than that you should be ok.
Static will kill the device instantly, the average static shock contains about 5000V - 7000V, and you can get well over 10, 000V if you wear static inducing clothing. Most of the time you will never even feel the shock when you touch the device, but the transfer of electricity will kill it regardless.
The basic idea is just to keep yourself grounded and you won't have a problem.09-11-09 12:53 PM - hahaha... great advice!!!I will post here, no problems.
