    Sure thing... as soon as I get it in I'll report back. Although, I don't have the silver H if that's what you are expecting. I just wanted my phone to look new again =).

    You're totally right,it's bloody awful. How the hell they came up with that combo,who knows. I have to keep turning and twisting the phone around so i can get just the right light to see the keys because the silver is just too shiny.

    So come on ninjaap,did you do it yet? I'm dying for a tutorial,mine is still sitting here waiting to be put on but I'm still nervous about ripping the old face off and screwing it up til someone shows me the right way to do it !!!

    Here's a pic of the face plate bits next to the silver face,what a difference !

    I saw that outfit but was scared off by the this aint a new part disclaimer. From the looks of your picture I'd say it's as good as new so I placed the order. Thanks man. Can't wait to get it.

    Well I got the same stuff as you naznomad. You do not take the phone apart so installation is a piece of cake. Simply pry up the top lens and remove. Then it's the same with the keypad. There is a white plastic sheet under each part. They stay with the phone. Be careful with fingerprints and dust if you're as anal as I am about such things. A can of compressed air comes in handy. Also, be sure the new parts are lined up properly before you press 'em down. You're gonna love it!
