My 7210's 7250 faceplate (aftermarket)

Here is the keypad close-up. My problem with the keypad is no light comes through the lettering, so it is impossible to use in the dark. The keypad is a hard plastic, not that rubbery stuff we're used to.

Next is just a view of the front. If you look, you can see what I mean about the keypad. It is tough to see, but not so tough to use.

This one is of the back. You can see the place where they put in a fake camera. That is the worst part about it-- kills me.

Here is just another view, just for fun.

Overall, I'd say it is pretty nice for an aftermarket faceplate. Really the only problems I can think of are the fake camera (AHHH) and the light not coming through the keypad.

Not bad at all... seems to look pretty clean. So you would recommend getting one if they sell more?? Thanks!

Welll, It depends. It is really easy to accidently press the wrong button on the keypad, and tough to use the left/right keys. For what I paid ($5USD), it was worth every penny (yup, that $5 included shipping from the UK.)

Had it been $15, im not sure it would have been worth it. But just for fun, its a cool thing to have.

One more question..... I noticed the Nokia 7210 Operator Logo... how hard is that? Would you be willing to share? Thanks!

Actually, I downloaded it via wap! A great site, too, by the way. They also have the blank logo incase you change your mind:

I thought there was a shorter address, but I guess not.

So i guess the 7210 and 7250 are too different to be able to use the 7250 faceplates on the 7210... anyone try this, even if it needs a bit of modification first (i.e. the things I read about swapping 8390/6590 faceplates)? Too bad if you cant.. the 7250 OEM faceplates are so nice!

The 7250 is a tiny bit too tall

7250 is also 1mm narrower than the 7210,and 1,5mm thicker
