Pearl 8130 (CDMA) keyboard question
- Here's the deal. The housing on my 8130 has seen better days and I would like to change it. I got to thinking that if I'm going change the housing why not go with a different color (as I don't care much for silver). I want to go with a black housing however all of the black keyboards that I'm finding are only compatible with GSM based phones and I dont want a silver keyboard with a black housing. Did RIM ever make a black keyboard for the pearl that is compatible with the 8130, or is there a way to get an 8120 keyboard to work? Thx in advance for any help.06-07-09 10:43 PMLike 0
- I have the same problem except I have the 8120 and ordered a new keypad (that said it was for the 8110, 8120, 8130) and it is for CDMA. I removed all the buttons off an extra GSM keypad and wondered if I could put the keys from the CDMA keypad onto the GSM keypad?
Would that work?
I've searched the net looking for a WHITE 8120 housing and all I have found is the battery backing and the LCD lens. When I found the white keypad for the 8120 I couldn't wait for it to come in only to be disappointed to learn it was for the CDMA phones.
any help would be great!!! thank you!!
or if anyone knows where to find a GSM white keypad I would appreciate it! I have looked on ebay, searched google,dogpile, yahoo, and countless other phone repair sites as well as this one and have no luck at all!06-08-09 03:01 PMLike 0 - I have the same problem except I have the 8120 and ordered a new keypad (that said it was for the 8110, 8120, 8130) and it is for CDMA.

I was excited too... it took nearly a week and a half delivery since it was from hong kong and would have been well worth the wait if it had been the correct one. Hope this gets you what you're looking for. In the discription it doesn't say white, it is listed as V621 keyboard keypad f. I emailed them and made sure it was white and they said yes and if there were other colors not listed that i wanted to email back....06-08-09 10:32 PMLike 0 - cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220412769576&_trkparms =tab%3DWatching]V621 Keyboard Keypad f.
