Q9h...Sliver to Black conversion....Part 1

[djdownhill]

As much as I LOVE!!! my Q9h, I got sick and tired of using the Silver keypad. It was kinda hard to see in some lighting and in reading in a few other forums I was not alone. Now I really LOVE Crystal Talk but the Black version does not have it (the upgraded Silver one does). Since I did not want to get a black one without Crystal Talk I decided to go the other route and switch out the Silver/Chrome to a Black/Silver one and have the best of both worlds. Took about an hour of my time to swap it myself.

Don't laugh....New screen protectors coming soon....


IMHO, a better looking/working keypad....Crystal Talk...

Before with Silver/Chrome faceplate & keypad:

Where did you get the face plate replacement?

Where did you get the face plate replacement?

I got it on Ebay.

How much was it on ebay? How does the back look?

It was $10. It only came with the Faceplate, camera lens glass, and top back plate (no battery cover). I only used the Faceplate as I liked the way it looked with the grey striped battery cover and top backplate. I was able not to destroy the camera lens glass so I now have an extra. I'll post pics of the back later.
