Yes, they have the full housing in babyblue! Look harder dude...it is there.... I checked it four hours ago. The seller of the housing is Lovemoments. Center pins? Are you guys talking about the metal screw slots for the four screws near the lcd screen or are you talking about he hinge between the top and bottom sections of the phone?

yeaa the full housing comes with everything. u don't need to transfer those foam sealers or anything like that but just transfer the mainboard, motor, speaker... and yes the keypad has the strokes on it.

the baby blue housing still on ebay! i just checked them.
wonder why they don't make a good color more for the guys side

Baby blue isn't bad. I Think I am gonna order that since pink is a no no for me. Gonna give this phone up to my wife as soon as a newer dope a s s phone comes out anyways! She wants baby blue!!! I kinda want that too since I think its gonna look better in person.

Posted by: zaku

yea indeed they all look cool! and so is the baby blue.
but just my personal thoughts that is more girlish. no offence to anyone!

Posted by: jay.wong

where did you get the covers? Are there any other colors avaliable other than pink?

Posted by: joie05

U can get those on Ebay, there's pink and baby blue, and the original silver one.

thanks!
but that's not my style of color or i would have bought it already

if u ever buy another GD88 back, go buy a blue housing and i can swap your housing if u like. guaranteed good job without scratches

and free of course

i can still see them on ebay (just checked today). maybe just wait the seller to post up new ones cuz it might just have been sold at the moment when u were looking for it.

when i bought my baby blue housing from lovemoments for $20usd, all it came with are the bare housing pieces...

no foam gaskets or brass screw anchors were included....

there was no keypad either...

Do you mind telling me where can i buy that tri-wing screwdriver on line ?
i couln't found it at any hardware shop here

thanks again ~~~~

the screwdriver bit i bought it online here:
http://www.action-electronics.com/ezpower.htm
that screwdriver bit doesn't fit very well (a lil big) but if u go carefully it will still unscrew.
and the other one i got free with the housing.
i think those u can find at ebay

actually the bigger screwdriver bit is good when u have your screws damaged (when it becomes hard to unscrew with a small screwdriver...).

Thank you Zaku
