Great SoCal Place to get your phone Modded

I've been lurking on the forums, interested in modding my phone, and finally broke down and got it done.

Today I finally got my Nokia 3360 phone modded (Super White LEDs, with max bridging, white flashing battery, and clear/black case with Dragon, so it glows REAL white when I get a call), and it's beautiful. Looking at how the LEDs were installed, I have to say I have tons of respect for them. (No, I don't work for them).

They got the installation done in 15 MINUTES!!!!!

Apparently, the tech guy there is REALLY good at putting together LEDs and stuff; obviously he's got lots of experience. One thing he wouldn't do, though, is invert the LCD screen, because he was afraid of breaking the LCD (which costs like $30-35 to replace, so it's understandable)

The store is alo a warehouse and wholesale for cell phone cases, so they have hundreds of case styles (like at least 30 for each type), and lots of battery choices.

Prices... eh... a little on the high side (clear cases - $5, designs- $10, white LED battery - $30, I don't know about the rest), but you can't beat the selection. All the popular phones are showcased there, and they've got tons of cool tchotchkes there too.

I really enjoyed my trip, and would definitely go there to get more stuff modded (unfortunately, it's like an hour's drive from where I live), because they know so much about cell phones. If you buy in bulk, they'll give you a discount (since they get all their stuff directly from the manufacturer).

Here's the 411:

Tran Sound Communication Inc.
(Cellular Accesories Distributor)
2003 Tyler Ave.
El Monte, CA 91733
(626)-442-7786

Converting my cell phone to White LEDs cost me $55, so you can sort of compare them.

(oops... turns out they have a website, too: www.transound.net. Haven't visited, so I don't know how it is.)

Again, this isn't some sort of sales pitch, it's just a recount of my experience, since I'm horrible with hot things (like soldering irons), and looked everywhere to find someone capable of doing it.

Hope it helps!
