Hey, do you know where I can get a white front case for the K550? All those I've found online have like a black keypad area.

How did you change the screen thing? Mine look pretty banged up, so I might change the whole front face of the phone (keypad, front face, lcd cover).

The only mod I did was to rub off the 2.0 MegaPixel thing on the camera lens cover

they probably have them at cnn.cn. yea, and with the screen thing, i was just messin around yesterday lol. btw i have a white k550 and my sister has a black one; we just traded parts. i just thought, wouldnt it be cool to have a black and white k550? so we switched battery covers, easy enough. but then i was looking closely at the phone and figured the lcd lens could prolly come off. i checked on cnn.cn and saw lcd lenses for sale. so i just took a compass point (it has to be really long and sharp at the end) and just slid it in there and did some prying. i used my fingernails to do it all around, and it came off soon enough. there is some very sticky glue there, so watch out.

That mix up doesn't really look good. It actually looks weird.

actually, it looks a lot better in person, especially when i'm using the phone. the camera doesn't really do it justice

Yeah. Do you intend to do other stuff to it? If I did that, I'd also paint the soft keys, d-pad, and number keys black to give more contrast to the front screen.

yea i'm thinking about changing the part on the bottom where it says cybershot

cnn.cn has the lcd cover, and the keypad, but I'm looking for the complete front facia at least. Those on ebay look sketchy...
