For my Nokia 3390 I got a red and a blue face plate (I mixed and now have a blue front and red back and a red front and a blue back.) I also got a Lithium Ion battery to replace the Nickel Metal Hydride that came with the phone. Also got a clear vinyl case. Customized the logo and screen saver as well.

For my Nokia 5190 I got a blue face plate (hey, I'm a boy and I like blue!) and also got a Lith Ion slim battery plus changed the keys from the opaque white ones to chrome keys. Also got an Eastpak case in addition to a clear vinyl case. No flashing gizmos or other doo-dads.

6 White LED for LCD

Flashing Antenna Sticker
Internal Antenna Booster (HeH, I was bored at work...)
Flashing All Blue Straight Battery

I plan to use the full housing except the faceplate.

I did practically everything I could on the 8260... than I took off the flashing blue keypad because the keys was crap.


Here's my principle phone a Nokia 3390. It's blue on the front and red on the back though you can't see the back.

Here's my 8290 with Clear/Blue Frosted Faceplate, Laser Cut and Blue Rubber Guard. I was thinking of replacing my LEDs with either Hyper Whites or Super Blues but I have handset insurance and if ever something goes wrong with my phone they won't honor my warranty since I have modded my phone.

hi..i always use my phone whenever i travel with my family...
i cant change my face plates though..coz i dont think 8890 has color covers and stuff...on my phone posted there was my ORIGINAL face plate....i never change it since i bought it (may 2000) except on my back plate though coz theres some scratches on it so i bought a new one (original back plate from nokia)...thats it and im contented on my bluish whitish screen...



Posted by: RicE BoyeE 2

littlefuzzbear has a crapload of phones.. haha. damn.. i need to get a pic of my phone up here. sometime soon so don't cry if i don't. for some reason i like clear cases.. not just clear clear but design clear. maybe it's so my LED's can flash? *shrugs* beats me.

i like clear cases too....no because so the leds can flash though...well because it's clear and it just look soo much coller that way..



Posted by: RicE BoyeE 2

i agree with you monmon. clear cases all the way =P. and to "whoa!", i've tried it before. not that i bought it or anything but my friend gave it to me because he didn't want it. so i tried it and it made no difference whatsoever. so i took it out and gave it to another friend . maybe that's why so many sellers on ebay include the antennae booster for FREE when you buy something from them. i don't know. but from personal experience, i'd say that it doesnt work, along with other sites off the net.

and for my 3390 i put it on full efr (enhanced full rate) or something like that by pressing *3370#. im not sure whether it will work for your phone or not so dont try it unless you really want to. you can turn it off by pressing #3370#. it'll reset everytime you do press it in though.

to me it made a difference, i'm not positively sure about it. but i remember that the reception in my house was half on my phone and after i entered the efr code, i found my reception to be 3/4 and full at times. so i'm guessing it does work. maybe that's why it reboots everytime you enter the code. and i've noticed that my reception has been full everytime i go out. either that or voicestream improved their services. hope this helps monmon.



Posted by: RicE BoyeE 2

oh forgot to answer your question. efr makes the phone work at it's fullest potential, like reception and so forth. it drains 5% more battery life but i think it's worth it. i charge my phone everytime im at home and i leave it charging every night so that's no big problem to me. if it is, you can always buy an aftermarket Lithium Ion battery. okee dokee hope i answered your questions

Too bad they never made a North American 3290. It's basically the same as the 5100 series phones except it's a little bit shorter and has an internal antenna. I thought it was interesting that when Nokia introduced the Nokia 3285 that it doesn't resemble the 3210 at all and in fact looks more like the 6100 series phones.



Posted by: B0B0

nice phones you guys have



Posted by: RicE BoyeE 2

*sniff* im proud of my super bright LED's..



Posted by: AdmiralAK

The 3210 is a nice phone, but it's already more than 2 years old -- it's loosing its luster, but everytime i see one good memories come back he he -- used one when they first came out in greece


As for the xx90 version -- yes there wasnt one made -- but if nokia got their head out of the corporate toilet from teh corporate hangover they've had with their phones they would see the need for triband and GLOBAL marketing.

"I would like to make a correction. My phone le.d.'s aren't even blue. So don't compare them to Hyper Super Spectacular Blue ones. I wonder who came up with all those adjectives about l.e.d's. Different Colored led's have a different mcd value. "

This picture shows what my phone led's really look like. White. for you guys that can't tell.




Posted by: eimajuno

I keep my phone pretty much stock. I have 2 Nokia factory faceplates and 2 Aftermarket faceplates and a flashing battery. (Sorry no pictures.) My OEM faceplates are Vesivus Red and Iceberg Gray. My after market ones are smoke and clear. I want to put in a flashing keypad but I am afraid that it would make my phone freeze like when that happened when I put in my flashing battery.



Posted by: RicE BoyeE 2

may i ask the life of the flashing battery that you have? im still debating on whether i should get one or not. i charge my phone every night so im guessing i should? what do you think?



Posted by: blu_monkey

not much you can do to the phone, but securely guarded by Megaman and his good buddy Zero



Posted by: hasrice

id rather have a 8890, than a 3390 any day. well actually it would be better if i just had both. hehe but as for boyeeeeeeee question. Are u talking to me? or... who?

Hey, RicE BoyeE 2! Can you attach a few more pictures of your Nokia? I'm basically doing the same conversion as you -- 3360 to 8310/8390 white on blue faceplate, plus (still in process) either hyper blue or hyper white LEDs. I still have to find a source for the LEDs.

woah, nice phones you guys got, i have a 3390 as well with no idea on how to unlock it but thats besides the topic

where do you guys get your mods? online or store? i can't find a place in vancouver with those kind of lights (the ones as bright as a flash light, ie, rice's and fuzz), any idea of where i can get those?

those lights would be nice.. but i think that the ones my friend has are bright enough.. would you like to be blinded (literally) at night trying to use your phone? my friends lights are half as bright and you get pretty much blinded at night.. haha but the lights would be a cool thing to have.... just have a cover over ur phone at night.. hehe
actually i'm wondering where, too, you can get lights that bright.. and not too expensive too, in vancouver/richmond



Posted by: Tenken

hehe yea but the lights that i bought are just dots, looks like'm anyway
i know metropolis doesn't have those kinda lights, niether does yaohan, i guess the only place i haven't looked is parker place, you know one of these places gotta have it



Posted by: skaquixotic

u can do what's called LED bridging (i think that's what it's called anyways) and it increases the voltage going to each LED, hence brighter lights

parkerplace shud have them...if not empire might

my friend got his blue and white leds at fido store in Parker Place.. so ya should go check there



Posted by: Goldskin

just to keep this thread going until eternity, here's my stock 7190. Yeah, totally 100% stock. Don't think it would look right modded, but orange lights might look cool; give it a Frankfurt-by-night look?



Posted by: powertoburn

Are the Nokia 7190's still being sold in Canada? Cingular is the only wireless provider to get them in the USA and sale them for only 2-3 weeks. I am lucky enough to have the nokia 7190 and will admit I really like the phone, and I would like to add either the Blue or Purple LED to mine, but will wait until warranty runs out. I have sent mine to Nokia twice for service already, each time due to slide problems, and they never upgraded my firmware, so I assume there is no later version.



Posted by: michael1019

Has anybody gotten orange leds? I wanna see wut it would look like!



Posted by: jdthai

OK, its not a picture, but this is exactly how my phone looks:



Its in this thread



Posted by: Goldskin

Microcell (Fido) sells the 7190 in Canada:
http://www.fido.ca/portal/en/info/D...tOverview.shtml

I think it's pretty much EOL right now, as far as firmware goes...



Posted by: powertoburn

Thanks Goldskin

Glad the nokia 7190 is still availiable from a service provider. Cingular makes it sound like the phone is no longer made either.

Well, you guys with Fido are sure lucky to have the Motorola V66 as supported I called Motorola today to find out if they will flash my Motorola V66 and they said no but it can be done in Canada.

ok Tenken, where i live, (Houston, TX), it's so easy to get phone mods. it's just a matter of where u want to get them. most of the places are in chinatown so that's where i got my lights. if you live in a small area or something it might be hard for you to find a place that does that kind of stuff. recently i have bought nothing for my phone.. blahhhh... still in need of money for a flashing battery light. happy job huntin for me.. haha

Hello,

I don't mean anything bad, but I have a question. Why do some of you guys mod your phones, and make it look like a night club? Of all the pictures i've seen, the only one that appeals to me is RSX's phone. Why don't the people who are conscious about the look of their phone, just buy something sexy looking, like the v60 or the 8890? Just a thought, that's all.

Shawn



Posted by: hasrice

H'mm would you like to donate a 8890 to me? Cause I certainly can't afford a 400 dollar phone. I only have one phone now. looks like you have a few. And with your comment on "night club", It's all about originality. That's all. But hey thats yer opinion.

like hasrice said. it's just another avenue in which one can flex his or her creativity.

Easy... For the price of one Nokia 8890, you can have three-five Nokia 33xx "night club" phones. Not all of us can afford a sexy Nokia 88xx phone, nor can most of us justify the cost if all we want to do is talk.

Why buy a 5-series BMW when you can buy a half dozen Toyota Echo and make it look like a "night club"? Both cars will take you from point A to point B, right?



Posted by: Koofteh

Hello,

I dunno why you would buy a 5-series BMW, instead of an Echo. All I know is that lots of ppl who can afford them, and some who can't afford them (lease or mortgage) , buy them. You're right, you won't buy a BMW if you have no intrest in cars, and just need a form of transportation. But, here, we all consider ourselves cell phone enthusiasts. So, why not buy something that looks good originally?

I can't speak for everyone on this board, but I know for me, being a student and all, can not justify spending more than $200CDN on a cellular phone, which I will likely change within two-years. According to my example, I'm one of those guys who will buy the Toyota Echo, slap on a ton of decals, change the lights so that my car looks like a Christmas tree, and hook my stereo up with the cheapest Wal-Mart audio equipment available!

You make a good point about the majority of us here being cell phone enthusiasts, but that doesn't mean all of us can afford the finer cell phones being offered on the market. If I had the chance to sell out my friends for a nice Nokia 8890 with a few perks, I probably would!



Posted by: jdthai

Here's my opinion: the principle reason the 8890 is so expensive is because it works on other frequencies than 1900. I don't need to pay n extra $100-$200 for that since I rarely leave North America. My 8290 is good enough for me....but I didn't loke how it looked with its bland green lights and boring faceplate. It now has blue lights and a black 8250 style housing....which makes it quite rare, and gives it a bit of my own, personal style



Posted by: blu_monkey

well, we as phone enthusiasts should compare ourselves to car enthusiasts:

some ppl will buy a bmw or a jag and leave it stock

whereas others will buy like an integra or a civic and put lots into it.

does one like cars more than the other? no. kinda like cell phones!

That was kinda my point. Just one car enthusiast has more money then the other...

Hello,

Well said, my friend. You're exactly right about the stock and mod. I didn't mean everyone should buy costly phones, my question was why do you mod them? In my opinion, original is best looking, wether you have a T68 or a 3390.

Maybe with most phones, but is a normal 7190 is better than a 7190 modded to have the autoslide button plus blue LEDs?

Here's my 8260...

I don't know if you can tell.. but if you look really really closely at the screen.. you can sort of see my face in the background. All I did was cut up a picture and stuck it in behind the LCD. You can see it really good at night.

Plan on getting my RED LEDS installed soon (OOoH.. can't wait)



Posted by: eg0trip

here's my phone, 3390....just got the lights done the other day.

sorry if the pics are a little fuzzy....



there are a couple other pics here...
lights in dark
lights off

thats a 3310 case with the black crystal or gel keypad (whatever they're called). i think the case matches the keypad pretty well.

anyway, comments are welcome....

Looks nice. I like the blue LEDs. Can't quite make out the color of the case or the keypad.

On the lights off one does that say "insert coin?" Cute Maybe when my 3390's out of warranty I might investigate getting other LEDs other than stock. As far as keypads I got a different face/back and it came with the translucent white plastic keys, but I decided that the stock silvery keys looked a whole lot better. But then again everyone has their own taste. I don't care for flashing batteries or keypads, but that's my thing.

Thanks. yeah it says Insert Coin, just a lil screen saver thing. the case is white with the dark blue trim and the keypad is a black clear one. I don't like the flashing keypads either, but i like the batteries that run in two straight lines.

yea, i very much like eg0trips keypad, how the light shines around the keys. Very nice!

I like your operator logo (screen saver?), eg0trip. By any chance is your ring tone a video game theme?

Heh... I have the same ring tone (Pac Man theme) currently on my phone! I also have the themes from Super Mario Bros 1, SMB 2, Tetris, and the Pac Man interlude. I love the looks I get when people hear old-school game sounds coming from my phone. Too bad my phone doesn't support operator logos.



Posted by: eg0trip

yeah, its funny when it rings and people are like...man that old skool...the insert coin thing is just actually a screen saver, i think i got it from a list of operator logos, but i just put it as the screen saver.

Where did you find the blue LEDs? I am looking for the exact same blue LEDs. I don't like the dark sapphire/indiglo blue LEDs, but rather, I like the soft baby sky blue LEDs. Nice simplistic phone mods!!!

I'm sort of interested in this stuff too... when my warranty is no longer in effect. Just out of curiosity I did a search on google.com on blue LEDs and found several hits. Use the key words blue LED installation.



Posted by: eg0trip

well, i got mine done at a local shop here in houston, tx. 50 bucks and 20 min. later i had blue leds...i had been searching around for a while. I was actually going to send it to the UK to have it done from this guy... http://www.bluled.co.uk/ ...would have been the same price for shipping and everything, but i would have had to been without my phone for like 10 days or so.

eventually i found a little shop here, i'm not sure what type of lights they use. i guess i could try and find out. when they did it they put on a clear case and it was all bright and hard to see the LCD screen cus no light was being directed to it, so i put my old case back on and i love it this way. no too bright, not too dark.

there are two places i've heard alot of good stuff about...
http://www.bluled.co.uk/ - they in the UK i believe &
http://www.all4cell.com/ - they're in the US

i'm pretty sure you can just purchase the led's from either site then have a local shop put them in. or do it yourself if your skilled (which i'm not). OR you could just look on ebay.com. do a search for nokia 3390 led and it'll come up with a crap load of led auctions.

sorry i could be of more help and thanks for the comments.

its a black crystal jewel keypad, got it off e-b-a-y.
just do a search for nokia 3360 keypad, or most cell phones shops sell these now.

also, i have the blue leds so if you have the regular green ones it'll still have the same effect, just not as bright.

and i think that any case thats not clear would give you the same effect.

Yeah, Ebay is the first place I checked and it seems like they don't have it there.



Posted by: AsTrObOy

I don't think they sell jewel keys for 82XX. The keypad config is a little hard to do especially when you're dealing with such hard plastic. The result would probably be good to the eyes, but would be hard to press since the arrow keys, menu/names, and the call/hang up buttons are so close to each other. Pressing would make them grind up against each other or you'd be pressing other keys at the same time due to the tightness.

DayDeal.com sells them for the 8290/60, 3390/60 and other phones as well.

btw, how come some ppl change only 8 leds while others change all 10 on the 82xx fones?? i changed all 10 of mine



Posted by: Koofteh

Hello,

I attached a picture of the 8250, you can also visit the site. The screen on mine is a little lighter than the one in the picture, in my opinion, the one in the picture is a little too blue.

Your idea is helping him make money... You should at least drop him an email and let him know you've seen *your* design (and the photo you took) on his auction. Use the words copyright and royalties and see what happens... :-)

Yeah, I emailed him....I told him that I want 30% of the profits made from the auctions!! I was just kidding of course. but yeah, I mentioned that some people might like to sue for using their pics and stuff and they he may want to ask for people's permission before using their pics in the future.

he understood and stuff, cool guy, no problems. I might be heading up to dallas soon to visit some friends, might stop by and visit his shop.

Hey Ego i just bought a 3390 and loved the way your buttons looked. had a couple questions though.

1 does this pic look like the keypad you have (black with kinda chrome trim)
2. where did you get the led's switched to bright blue. I live in houston so was wondering where the shop is.
3 what colors can you get led's in

hey man, yeah thats the same keypad i have.
I got them done at this place:

NWP (Newest Wirelss Products)
11360 Bellaire Blvd, Suite 700
Houston, TX 77072
281-498-4000

its in China town, the other side of houston for me, but I guess it was worth a little drive.

I was checking around on a honda forum and someone on there said their friend ran this shop. Took about 15-20 min, I have no complaints at all and I am very happy with them. and i've had so many compliments on it . It was $50 bucks even and they said I could pick out a free case also!

They said they could do blue, white, red, orange, green, yellow and purple......i think that was it. i got the blue obviously, but i'm thinking about going and getting my wife's phone (8260) done with the purple lights.

later



Posted by: eg0trip

oh yeah....they sell those keypads also, although they were out of black at the time i went.



Posted by: eg0trip

here's a few new pics...

thats a pic of my daughter in the background there....doesn't show up very well through the camera, but looks really clear in person.

hmmm.. acid tap...???... where do you obtain it.. and when you have it, what do you do with it?



Posted by: monmon

acid taps are cheap if ur lucky u may be lucky enough get one for free when u buy a full housing or faceplates they are only around 25 cents sum phone modding place may have them but i've seen them on sell on ebay for 5 dollars and more...if u do choose to install one u have to take the LCD out take it apart, on sum model this may damage ur phone..

Posted by: parapara

so its the thin plastic stuff that the holograms are made off.???... but how could i get a picture of my friends for example, on it?



Posted by: eg0trip

all i did was print out the picture on a piece of transparency paper, cut it out and put in behind the lcd screen.

on the 3390's you have to open up the phone of course and unscrew the main board, it'll come apart in 2 pieces if i remember correctly. theres a white paper like cover on the back, i just kinda lifted it up and on the back of the lcd screen there a white cover that you can kinda peel back and just slip the picture in.

fairly simple actually and it can't mess up your phone unless you just break the lcd screen for some odd reason.



Posted by: parapara

thank you very much sir...



Posted by: eg0trip

i did my wife's 8260 as well, pretty much the same, except on the 8260 you have to pop off the lcd screen, then you can peel back the white film stuff and slip in the picture.



Posted by: parapara

oh one more question.. i have a crummy Canon BJC printer, when I print the pic on to the transparancy, will the ink settle correctly, or will it end up looking like Blah!... ahah...?????



Posted by: monmon

mmm...so u print it on transpraratn paper like those for overheads projectors?? i though ink dun stick well to them

Here my Nokia 3390 I have through Cingular. Here's the specs:

-Hyper blue LEDs on screen, super whites on keypad
-White frost faceplate
-Black crystal keypad
-Blue flashing crown
-White "runway pattern" 900MAh flashing battery
-Antenna booster
-Chinese Writing screensaver
-"Crawling" ringtone by Linkin Park

http://fractalreactor.com/3390-1.jpg --> Front of phone illuminated in dark

http://fractalreactor.com/3390-2.jpg --> Back of phone illuminated in dark

http://fractalreactor.com/3390-3.jpg --> Front of phone in light, not illuminated

The quality of the images are decent, but I will try to get some better pics up later on from my digital camera. These were taken with my webcam, and it's a major P.O.S. and needs a ton of lighting for its images to look any good, so...I think you catch my drift.



Posted by: eg0trip

i have an inkjet printer as well and it turned out just fine, i've heard that laser jet will give you better quality though.

but yeah, i just used the transparency paper like for an over head projector......you can also use regular paper and it'll give the same effect. i just went and bought the transparency paper cus i though it'd look better, but honestly there wasn't much of a difference.

you can also do color as well, for instance, if you want a red screen you can just print up a red block and put it in there, of course that would only work well with blue or white led's. you can even just get a magazine clipping and put it in there. its pretty much "what you see is what you get", but dimmed a little. if you put something with color behind it, you'll see the color, but if you have the stock green led's it just won't show up very well.

like when i did the 8260, you can see the black & white image, but using the green led's it just doesn't show up as well as my 3390 with blue led's.

you can also do color as well, for instance, if you want a red screen you can just print up a red block and put it in there, of course that would only work well with blue or white led's. you can even just get a magazine clipping and put it in there. its pretty much "what you see is what you get", but dimmed a little. if you put something with color behind it, you'll see the color, but if you have the stock green led's it just won't show up very well.

like when i did the 8260, you can see the black & white image, but using the green led's it just doesn't show up as well as my 3390 with blue led's.


I used a REGULAR picture in mine (cut to fit). The color of your LEDs will affect how visible it is.

Thanks eg0.

And monmon, yeah, the thing over the antenna is the flashing crown. I'm pretty sure they just come in blue, purple, white, and multi. But the place I buy my stuff from can change them to be red, green, yellow, orange, and any other color LEDs they have really for another $10 - $20. As far as I know they only make them for the 3390, but it's possible to put one on a 3360 except it will be on the bottom of the phone instead of the top (since the battery prongs are on the bottom instead of the top on that phone). I was going to get a white one that way it'd match the battery, but since I figured on the front of the phone it's blue top, white bottom, I'd do the same on the back. And as for it sticking up there, there is a little sticky adhesive on the back of the crown that way it can stick to the phone. You don't have to stick it though, it already kinda stays down since the back cover pushes it down, but I just stuck it down anyway with the adhesive.

it is suing the fone battery or it's own?

Yep, the crown runs off the battery. It doesn't effect battery life though, as far as I've noticed. I've actually kinda tested it out. I went 3 days with the crown off, and another 3 with the crown on, and on the last day of the period when the crown connected, the battery level was the same as when the phone didn't have the crown. The only thing was I talked randomly at different times, but I don't think it matters that much. Overall I pretty much talked about the same amount of time. Ultimately, for each period I should have just let it run until the battery died out completely, but I was paranoid that the battery would be dead at a time I needed to use the phone when I brought it with me or something, and I didn't have a spare battery at the time (the one that came with it got shorted out when I let a friend borrow it and he installed a flashing keypad wrong).

Now I realized I should have orderd LEDs from Internet and get someone to install it for me... I don't like the idea of having to ship my phone....

Posted by: AzN_aSsAsSiN
