hi
i'm a proud owner of the blue angel (imate flavor ) but the only thing i'd like is to have the xdaiis black cover.... does anyone have any idea where i can buy it? i emailed o2 but they wouldnt reply.... any help appreciated.....
Get a can of spray paint and do it yourself!
well i tried it twice before on my old imate (xdaII) one of them by a professional... but for some reason both didn't turn out good lookin... so i was wondering if its possible to get like spare parts from o2..
i also got a bad bump an the top right corner so i was thinkin about changin the whole cover.....so anyone?
you may think its black but is a dark silver. i wouldn't bother trying to change the cover.
but just think if you were to accidentally to lose you blue angel the nice insurance guys might replace it with a black one?
well whatever color it i just love it...and where i'm currently livin...no insurance, no xda's...just imates....
is it that hard to contacts o2 for spare parts?
come on cant anyone get me a clear answer if i could get my hands on one??? it'd be returnable favor
have a look on ebay sometimes xda2s come up as parts

Hey everyone.
First i would like to say thanks for all your help over the last 6 months of my owning an XDA and lurking here.
yesterday i nearly cried. i actualy realise how much i have used my blue angel.
i was at work and it went for a swimming lesson. did the usual battery out and drying out with a hair drier. so the unit now starts up. however the screen is very watermarked and the touch screen appears to be effected.
Has anyone had any luck cleaning it up. or should i give up now and order a new one. I NEEEEEEEEED my XDA! i am a techno adict, sad i know but that PPC orginised my life! hehehehehehe
Thank you
Kim Watson
mate
if the unit is still functioning well and the ONLY problem you see is the watermark; you can opt to have only the screen/lcd changed. that's IF it's the only problem with the unit. charging? on/off? microphone? syncing?
cheers
ps: and in the end did your unit learn the backstroke?
not sure how much help its gonna be, but mine got wet and the touch screen seemed to shift its alignment a bit towards the bottom, a real pain in the arse using the keyboard. after about 2 weeks it sorted its self out.
For the water damage i believe you'd need to change the LCD panel, that in its self can cost a fair amount of money so it might be an idea to check if ur home insurance covers you, just dont what ever you do tell them its a phone!! only call it a PDA unless they ask for a spacific name, and even then dont say O2 makes it or who ever ur operator is, cuz they wont cover you otherwise!
thanks guys.
well priceing its gonna be cheeper to buy a new handset than a new LCD.
the main mother board didnt actualy get wet. the keyboard and the back of the LCD were the worst hit. thanks to the whole split screan thing. i think had this been the xda2 it may have survived.
the only question now is do i go in search of another blue angle... or do i bite the bullet and get the 2i. better camera definatly an attraction but the blueangel keyboard is fantastic if your using instant msn. ether way i have to wait till the middle of june because o2 wont let me have another one without paying full price even though my upgrade is a month away.
i love my XDA.....

Hi all,
I droped my qtek s200 a few days ago now iam looking for a orginal compleet housing for my qtek s200 ( face plate,chassis,back complete with silver windows mobile logo and chrome strips ) a orginal Dopod is fine to no 02 stuff, i did a few searches on the forums but only thing i found was o2 stuff and a spv housing.
who can me help me?
regards
Mike
probally ia'm going to buy the orange housing spv, my question how does a fibreglass pencil works?
Hi,
so you want to remove the writing on the case?
ive been hearing 'sugar cubes' work on removing logo's on the I mate jam casing. Its worth a shot.
Whitemoo.
Be careful! The Jam had an aluminium case and sugar cubes can't scratch aluminium but the Jamin's case is made of plastic which might get scratched! Try on a corner or somewhere that scratches can't be seen before you do it on the face of the Prophet.
tx for the info, iam probally going to do it with a fibreglass pencil first i need to wait what my insurance will do because my touchscreen died :S it can't be touched.

I've done it with a sugar cube on my spv m600 (prophet) and it worked. ORANGE logo is out now. No scratches and no paint removed
Hi there
I have an SX66 with a cracked digitizer/touchscreen.
The LCD is ok. I removed and replaced the battery, unit starts ok, but, of course, I cannot get by the alignment screen (makes sense).
I have a couple of questions.
First, I have an opportunity to buy another SX66 that has a cracked LCD, but there doesn't "seem" to be a crack in the touchscreen. There is a "spider's-web". Can this be on the LCD? Or I'm thinking that maybe it's on the underside of the touchscreen. Any opinions?
Is it possible to have a cracked/broken lcd and not have an affected touchscreen?
So, the touchscreen 'looks' to be ok, but is there anyway of testing this without removing it? Any opinions? Should I buy his unit and try it?
Second, there are some instructions for replacing touchscreens in an earlier thread. However, there was one comment that said that if I buy the proper touchscreen, soldering/desoldering is not required. Can anyone clarify or confirm that?
Third, is there anyway of determining which touchscreen I require by just the unit serial number? Or do I need to remove it?
I want to take this apart and fix it, but I would rather gather all the info first. Any help would be hugely appreciated!!
Thanks!
Richard
Hi Richard,
Well first off all, let me put your situation into other terms...
You have a really expensive suit jacket with a cashmere liner inside. You snag it on a nail, and now there's a big rip on it. You have the opportunity to buy another really expensive suit jacket with a good exterior, but the cashmere is ripped to shreds inside. Do you buy it and try to sew the two together?
I don't know exactly how crafty you are, but retrofitting a touch screen onto an LCD sounds like a daunting task. Buy a new OEM screen outright and fit it into your SX66. You'll have a lot less to worry about in the long run.
This might help

Hi..
I am after the silly little piece of white plastic that fits in the earpiece of a P3300 or MDA Compact 3 that allows the led indicators project/shine through to the front of the phone...
I can't find anyone with one...so i'm asking nicely to all bods on here who may just have one...
PS... screws off the back wouldn't go amiss either...
Thanks...
Remember.. If you don't be cheeky and ask... you don't get...
