best bet would be to use the 8290 board and put it in the 8890. parts can be found on ebay.

Actually I thought that the 8290 parts don't fit inside 8890 housings? Isn't that why there is that aftermarket conversion?

it can work, but you need to spend hours making it work.. soldering etc..

Hmm, building a phone! Sounds like a good project. Too bad I cant solder very well

Does anyone have more info on making this conversion? I'm willing to put in the soldering time to make it work but I can't find any layouts toshow me what I"m getting into

I like the look and functions of the 8890 case (retractable antenna, active slide) but I have 3 8290s lying around lol so sacrificing one to the conversion gods is sounding like a fun weekend project.

I tried the aftermarket conversion and it is just horrid imho... the slide is loose wiggles a lot, the battery cover feels *extremely* flimsy and you get half the cool look with none of the definitive functions...

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
