    i was going to order that....i kinda had second thoughts because i didnt know how it was going to fit. but now that i see that im pleased and i think i will order it. I know theres a vid, but what tools did u need? just a torx? or what?
    All you need is a T5 torx...

    Again...it was pretty simple...

    Just take your time...There are little clips on the rails...just be careful with them when you are putting the rails back not to bend the...

    Kinda hard to explain until you take it apart an see for yourself...

    After doing some searching here at CB I found out some people have ran into the issue of breaking them off...

    Good luck!

    Just for clarification, the 8300, 8310, and 8320 housings are all the same. The 8330 is just a little different.

    Looks nice but a little on the plain side... I still love my OEM crimson red housing. :]

    To me it's very sleek, and clean.

    I only know (personally) one other person with a Curve and it's a guy I work with. He's got a red one from T-Mobile I believe...

    I confirmed with Steve from CNN on November 19th:

    "Yes it will, however you must ensure that you purchase the 8330 keypad set as well (the top row of keys beside the trackball). Also, a bit of the foam trim around the ear-speaker hole on the faceplate needs to be trimmed off to make it fit.

    Steve Chan"

    So there you have it.

    He included an image of the foam he was speaking about but at work i'm not allowed to access picture sharing sties like photobucket.

    It looks better than I thought.. I was thinking of doing the samething, but not being able to see it in front of me stopped me from getting it. I was afraid of the black housing and the black rubberized sides would be way too much contrast in colors.

    But your pictures turned out really great.

    can we get more pictures? I'd like to see how well the rubber sides and the black blend in

    Is the quality of the housing the same (or higher) than what came with your 8330?

    Looks are great but if it scratches and dents like an egg, I would be far less likely to get one myself.
