So i have a Tmobile BB8100 is really good shape but i just upgraded to the iphone, and instead of spending 250 - 300 on new bb8100 for my girlfriend i figured i would try and make her a one of a kind one out of my old one with a little work,she has att service tho. i know about sim unlocking but i was wondering of it was possible to just reflash it with att software but im running into dead ends wondering if it is possible to flash the t-mo with some att software to change the menu, ya know get rid of the tmobile logos and tzones stuff, and where on earth i can find an OEM verizion pink pearl housing and keypad. thanks.

You can definitely load another OS on the device but the T-Mobile splash screens won't be removed as they are hard coded into the device. For housing www.cnn.cn has different housings you can purchase for the BlackBerry but I don't know if they carry a pink one.

And the 8130 housing will not fit the 8100 the keypads are different.

couldn't you just use an 8130 keypad? and how do i go about loading the att firmware.. i downloaded the lated firmware from att website, but i dont know if that is the complete OS or just an update. it is 72mb.

They're all complete. Install it on your PC. If your device isn't from at&t then close Desktop Manager, delete vendor.xml, and reopen Desktop Manager before connecting your BB.
