3390 OEM Keypads?

I am wondering if Nokia sells any alternate OEM keypads for the 3390?

I just recently got my 3390 LED's switched over to hyperwhite. However I did not realize the effect it would have on the keypad. It now looks turquoise thanks to the keypad numbers having a green tint underlay on the numerals.

I went to the mall and and bought a cheap faceplate in order to get a new keypad that had silver buttons but allowed the LED color to come thru and didn't have the numbers shaded a different color. Unfortunately the keypad was rubber and not plastic and the pegs on the back were also rubber. About 1/2 the numbers worked and the other half you had to jam down so hard it was even worth keeping.

Anyone have any ideas? I'd prefer an OEM one if it didn't have the color underlay if in fact they make them.

I do alot of SMS and want a keypad that works smoothly without any hitches.

Thanks.

The aftermarket rubber keypads work OK, but if you're having problems unscrew the front panel with the LCD and clean both the contact domes and the keypad traces on the PCB with isopropyl alcohol and put it back together (making sure there's no debris left) - this doesn't fix the problem but it sure helps the hard key problem.
