    As far as I know you should be fine there really is no difference between the 8110 8120 and 8130 other than software like wifi and GPS the phones are basically identical as far as I know so you shouldn't have any problems!

    The 8130 has the camera in a different location and the cases are different, just try to find a dummy phone on eBay, the cases are usually pretty good.

    Between the three of them there pretty much the same the only thing you need to pay attention to is the back of the phone where the camera goes.

    if the housings all work except for the Battery door due to camera location, what about the Keypads? Are they all the same?

    Thanks

    Check blackberry.com and compare devices.
    This will tell you the size differences. The key pads are different on some models and the camera is either vertical or horizontal, depending on the series that you have.

    I was also interested in a white housing ( which I can't find anywhere!) so I looked into this... the housings for the 8100 are different. the camera and the keypads are different. the 8110, 8120 and 8130 are all the same! i checked.

    The housings for 8130's are the same as 8120/10 but not the 8100, I changed my silver pearl to all black using parts from cnn.cn and a keypad from ebay and its all black now
    8120 keypads don't work on 8130's tho
