I was just wondering if taking apart the ameo or u1000 housing was a simple process. I really hate the look of the silver/white u1000 and ameo, but i was wondering if I could just take out the housing and spray it with some green or black car paint. Thanks for the input
??????????????
Not many people worldwide own one of these units yet.
But you could only wait 53 minutes before complaining that no one had answered your question....

man if you really hate the colour, you should go for Advantage, anyway, if you do decide to take apart the ameo, take a photo inside, so we know how easy to swap out the micro drive

STFU, I didn't ask you.
Yes you did, you asked a question on a public forum.
I didn't ask an asshole to give me an answer though.
What a pleasant person you are. Do you really expect people here to help you with an attitude like that?
You'll no doubt want to get the last word in, so go ahead. I'll waste no more time on you.
Both of you, pls cool down a bit. Changing housing is not impossible, but a bit unnecessary since Advantage is going to be out very soon
Just stick some fablon on
I believe Asukal did open the housing of his U1000. (Took picture in his BLOG)
There is sticker available to put a "skin" on your U1000 if you hate the silver color.

Yes that is legit. But I am sorry I wont be buying it. I buy a lot of stuff on ebay and that is well overpriced. If you want it go for it. But hey I find that overpriced.
How low can I get it for and where?
Also, will I have to wait for english ROM?
Many thanks.

The one on ebay has Operation System : Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC Phone (World Wide English).... so that kinda solves your problem of the english ROM. And it solves another of your problems that you havent mentioned. That is the chinese characters on the keyboard. i am sure you wouldnt want that. But it is $1500USD...
............................................................
The one being sold here by WU15903 whatever his name is.... err he is selling for $1300USD right? But it has a chinese ROM for now not a big deal because you can overflash it. But there is one problem that the keyboard has chinese characters on it. So it is certainly a option i wouldnt choose. Almost the same price. I guess those are the only two ways to get it for you...
...................................................................................................
But if I were you.... I would go onto google. Select preferences and select chinese, japanese, taiwanese and korean languages only. then search for 'buy dopod U1000' and many shops and other places where you can buy it for cheaper. except its all in jebrish so you gotta guess your way through using logic. and maybe you can grab yourself a sweet deal for $1000USD. hmm?
.....................................................................................................
But if you are a lazy guy and dont want to take the trouble of searching. Just close your eyes and go for the ebay one. Although you will face maybe a $300-$500USD loss. But i guess when you get the phone you wont find any flaws in it and will be very happy regardless of the price. So just go for the ebay one... lemme know what you choose.

Anyways going back to the topic. what have you decided fpbiii? where will you buy the dopod u1000 from?
Still haven't decided.
Believe it or not, the dealbreaker will be if it can fit in my pants pocket and I can handle the discomfort.
Can someone please post a picture of this thing in your pocket or something to help me decide. Once I know, I will buy! I like the one on ebay, but paying 1500 is outrageous. I will wait until it comes down around 1100 or so. I would take either the silver or black one.

Ok if you want the black one order it from 972telecom.com. thats where i have also placed my pre-order. Its around $1000CDN on pre-order. Much cheaper than the dopod u1000 and much better. Let me know what you decide. You will have to pay $50-$100 on customs. I agree $1500USD is outrageous. And truly its uncomfortable in the pockets of your trousers. There is a high chance you might damage the screen or keyboard in your pocket. It is like a mini-book in the trouser! very discomforting. I am sure you dont need to see pictures for that
********************************************************************
Let me know what you decide ^^ because i would highly recommend 972telecom.com a store in montreal. Very good store. I will be picking up my black athena from there in april.

so did they say even if the device comes out to be more expensive, they won't charge you more from the pre-order price? if that's the case, then great news. However, when you say it's much better then DOPOD U1000? what do you mean? they are the same? just the colour is different? is that your personal view point again?

Yes all the devices have similar spec's. I just prefer the black one because of the material it uses and I have never possessed a HTC Branded phone before. I dont know how much of your story about dopod is true but they are certainly a huge company like t-mobile. I also like the material HTC used for the body frame part. Anyways the pre-order price is fixed. I can pay it all off now or later. But the price is fixed and i will ask him to send me an invoice/quote to proove it hence.
*************************************************
Regardless, what i find amazing is that htcphonestore.com still retails Universal for $1100USD and Athena is only $1500USD.... i mean like does that mean that not much has changed from Universal -> Athena? Because I find that Universal is only worth maybe $500 - $600USD.

actually, the devices have exactly the same spec. btw have you hold an Advantage in your hand? did you go to the 3GSM? just want to know that.
Well, if the pre-order price is fix, then you can send a e-mail to expansys or mobile planet to tell them to remove their listing of Advantage, because they won't get any order if the price elsewhere is so much cheaper.
Also, this is just my PERSONAL though, the website you place pre-order on, it doesn't look very professional for me, any one think the same way?

why dont you fly to their store then.. and yes i havent held a Advantage in my hand ever. But just so that why dont you call HTC and ask them what material is the body made of? prolly that will satisfy you?

man, i though you have been following the post before, i was one of the tester of Advantage, i actually hold one in front of me before. I don't need to call them, because there is nothing i can find out. Basically, the only difference between them are the colour, material is down to your personal taste, all i can say is DOPOD (probably Ameo as well) is smoother surface, where Advantage is rougher.
One thing i am sure is you will be flashing DOPOD or Ameo Rom in the future.
p.s. And also, i am not saying the store is fake, i am just saying their website doesn't look very professional.

well, if you have place your pre-order, then there is nothing i can say,
although i will suggest any other people who consider buying the Advantage to wait until it's actually in-stock.
If the price is like what nuclear said so much cheaper than the official price, than i am sure all other store will have it as well. Don't rush yourself into this. Better wait and see, maybe you can get a even better deal!
Not much different if you place your pre-order now, you will still get it around the same time.
Has anyone ran into anyplace where you can purchase the HTC Raph back shell cover?
I heard it isn't as glossy/fingerprint magnet as the Euro version.. more rubberized.

Still, $33 is a lot of money for rubberized plastic, especially if I'm not even 100% certain it'll fit. And I want to see an accurate picture before I plunk money down.

All that someone needs to do is see if the European Touch Pro cover fits the US AT&T Fuze.
Doesn't anyone have access to both phones to test this???
(Interesting...This is my first post and I've been a member since April 2006....I'm always in here reading and I just never thought to ask anything before...weird because I post all the time over at HoFo).
if someone has a dremel tool, maybe u can fine sand it, and leave the triangle that says HTC and around the camera/flash untouched, make a rectangle shape around the autofocus text, then take it to the mall to one of those dog tag kiosk that can itch your name or logo on the back like laser itch, i think that will look cool...
while ur at it itch ur e-mail/contact info on the inside of the cover in case it gets lost!!

Found This case on ebay, think i can just use the back part on my fuse?
I saw the one on ebay too, but how come there is a big triangular hole where the camera is? How are you supposed to cover that or is it just left open?
I believe they want you to transfer it from your existing hardware... But, with my luck I would screw it up and not have a battery cover at all.

They don't sell the backs, and those that have them aren't too eager to sell them.
However, a user on the forums made some really cool laser etched backs with this design.

For the price you'll also get the front cover (which is hard to replace). However you'll also get the chrome piece which will scratch in time too I assume..

No, there are only full housings, but at 30 euros a set it isn't that expensive.
You can't change your black X10 to a white one with only this cover. The area around your touchscreen is black where the white one has a white area. So you'll either get a Panda looking X10 or you have to buy a completely new screen/digitizer.
LOL, PANDA )))) I really wanted do try this panda look because I dont want to have phone like everybody and I think that it would look cool But with whole housing I dont know who is willing to change it for me and if I do it myself then I will void my warranty. So I really wanted to make it 2 colors With this whole housing I would get white phone, like original right ? Is it hard to swap housing ?
Cheers
Just swap a phone with someone who has white and wants black...

Panda? Pah --> Star Trooper
Take a look in my signature.
There you'll find a complete* guide.
*except the touch module. But I'll add this step as soon as wai_lai416 upped some picture.
No one wants black one since white is VERY rare, both of our operators are offering only black one and then you can imagine how bad I want white one I will look at this guide but I doubt that I will do this, it is very hard.
BTW. if someone needs only front I will gladly buy white back cover
Experia on front..
On nearly everyone of the e-bay covers there is not the sonyericsson and xperia logo on the front, and also on the example site above.
Why is it likes this?
EDIT: Looks like the glass is not replaced in the housing linked in this tread, and the text are on the cover...
Re: X10 touch screen/digitizer
Gday mate i was wondering what you used to reseal the touch screen to the new housing? I would appreciate any support you have to offer.
Yes, YAKST(Yet another kickstand thread), but I have searched the forums and nobosy has done this.
I recently purchased a dummy HTC Evo from ebay for 20 bucks(a), now the idea here is to take this thing apart and extract the kickstand assembly(b) from it and pry it on an HD2 rubberized case(c), and hopefully it'll look something like(HTCEVOHD2.jpg).
I'm going to buy some tools to get this done, I'm thinking a dremel type tool and a glue gun... any ideas are welcomed!
I will be using the instructions found here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-HTC-Evo-4G-Kickstand/3064/4
Will post actual pictures of the mod, maybe a youtube video... Check back soon, as I am impatient and will try to get this done in the next few days...
