I just got a 6000 yesterday and its not in the greatest condition(scratches,etc..) and i was wondering if i could get a new housing for it or i ws thnking about taking it apart and painting the existing housing (if i mess up it wont matter getting 5300 this summer),but the screws are kinda strange with a 3-point star shape instead of the torx..where to find the screwdriver for these? or what can i do at all to improve the aesthetics of the phone since ill have it for a while??

If I were you, I would find little model car decals, and use those to help you paint. Maybe make it all white with some black flames, something like that.

Screwdrivers can be purchased at hardware stores.

Well if it is less than a year old Sprint may replace it with another one.

If more than a year old, then buy the Sprint Service plan and its broke. You would have to pay $35.00 and they would send out a new 6200 or 6400.

If you buy a phone used, you lose the warranty. At least that's what one Sprint rep told me.

Your best bet is to get Wireless Phone Insurance, and hope you accidentally drop it. They will probably give you either a Sanyo 6200 or 6400 as I doubt they keep 6000 units around.

If the imperfections are not too deep, you can have it refinished and coated for durability.

Automotive places have the right stuff to do this, now the problem is whether they will do it or not.
