Anyone know where to get some cheap/durable faceplates for the 6590, there's a lot out there, especially on EBay, but i was wondering if anyone knew where to get some OEM faceplates, or ones that look like them, with the "Nokia" above the screen?

Less than what's advertised on the nokia page.

Honestly, Insert, I would just buy the faceplates from Nokia. I have bought every one of my faceplates off of eBay, and each time I do, I keep telling myself I will never do it again. Each time I buy one (and I always get one that is supposedly by Nokia), it is always crappy, or has something wrong with it. For example, my Dusk cover which I am using now. I paid $20. for it through eBay after shipping. I was thinking I was slightly ahead because I wouldn't have to pay tax. Well, when I got it, it was not in a Nokia box, first of all. Then, I noticed it was hard to hear out of the earpiece. So when I took the cover off and looked at the holes in the cover that are next to the earpiece, I saw that the fancy fabric over the holes was taped on! So when I tried to push the tape out of the way, that silver colored part of the cover (the part that says "Nokia") started coming off of the cover itself!!!! And if I would have driven to the store (for the third time, because they are always out of stock on the Dusk cover) and paid tax, I would have gotten a real one that wasn't falling apart and taped together!!! And then when you email the people to let them know that they sold you a crappy cover, they don't give a sh**.... I usually got ignored, and the one time I left bad feedback, and the jerk left me bad feedback because I left bad feedback!! He didn't mention that I paid the very day I won the auction or anything. What a jerk.

What I am saying is, if you want a nice, quality faceplate, go through Nokia. They were having a deal where you buy $50., you don't have to pay shipping (which would be 3 faceplates since 2 only adds up to $49.98... which sucks!). Trust me on this.

Oh, and another thing I forgot to add.... these people charge a LOT for shipping, usually about $6. for a little envelope that they throw the cover in.... and for 6 bucks, it takes a long time. My Dusk cover that I was talking about took 17 days, that's a long time for $6. shipping. (And, of course, I emailed him and asked if everything was OK and I never got a response!)
