Was curious to see if any sites picked up the housing so we can start modding are. Black ones
Why mod the black one? Just get the white one.

That'll still cost me $200....the phone is, what, $550 at BB? (it was $699 at launch). That gives me $350 of buy-back credit. Then I also have to cough up another $40 (or $60) to get another round of buyback...so now we're up to $250 ish.....
I'll take the replacement chassis.
So does the white version have hardware changes? There were some threads earlier saying it might have a different audio processor.
Why not just get a white TPU case or something? Or a white battery cover when those become available? The medly of colours would be cool.

I posted a thread a while back asking if the white version might come with the superior wolfson dac found on the original epic. Anyone with any info?
Does this mean original Epic 4G Touch sales were successful enough to warrant manufacture of a white version?
My wife has the AT&T white Skyrocket. It's nice but I dislike the glossiness & the faux chrome bezel.
If Sprint can keep it matte & omit that fake chrome it will be one sexy beast (so to speak)
After looking at some pics of one obtained by the peeps at Pocket Now, it appears (though hard to tell) that it might be matte & instead of the chrome bezel has a silver one instead.

I hope if some one does find a place to buy the shell of white they post it. Has any one actually taken all the plastic shell off? Hope it doesnt require specialised tools or have a hang up like part of it being connected to the screen or mic/speaker being glued onto the shell

Due to the construction of our screen we probably would be stuck with a black front.

The angle is not steep enough to be useful for bedside though IMO. For a desk, yes...

This one actually sucks!! Holds your Captivate great for the first couple of weeks, then you have to wash it and let it dry and then re use it else it keeps falling off... I have the Car mount and it is a serious waste of money!
cool. but ill stick to a shoe box
Three words: business card holder. At work I use a plastic one for my phone. I know the dollar store has wire mesh ones, could easily cut up an old mouse pad or something for padding/non-slip.

Good ideas all.
I wonder what a red back cover would look like on a Blue? I guess that'd be ugly. Would be neat to see all the combos of colors though, someone at a store should post a video.
How ironic though that BIG RED Verizon didn't get the Red one.

I have 2 of the white flip covers. Unused and boxed. I have a blue s3 so I didn't really want to use them.
If someone has the blue limited edition back cover that came with new phones, I'd be happy to do a swap for one of mine. Send me a pm if you're interested.

i ALMOST got one for free. i was checking out the samsung booth at st. pancras eurostar termianl and the rep started chatting me up. I told him I was looking at the multicolored flip covers they had because they were $50 in the US and he said he would go grab me one of the olympic ones for free since they had them for promo. he disappeared for a few minutes and then came back looking disappointed as they had already given them all out. he said to come back in 2 days but i was already on my way out to france
Unlucky. I still have both of mine, if you'd like to buy one?

Decided to replace my screen myself since my phone is out of warranty. I bought an OEM Samsung screen (that includes the frame) so that I wouldn't have to mess with glue at all. It was about $150 for the screen.
I also decided to replace the USB port because of charging issues I've been having. The USB part cost about $10, and finally the outer frame / casing (with a new back) ran me about $20. So overall it was almost $200, but I have a new phone again I bought all parts off ebay and so far I'm really satisfied! Everything fits perfectly, and the phone looks flawless again.
I only used this youtube video as a guide, it was all I needed. It was pretty quick too, only took me about 30 minutes or so to do everything.

Mid-operation: had to test to make sure the new screen worked before I put it all together:
After:
Oh yeah, I did this myself because after my screen cracked my warranty was voided. I dropped $150 on the screen because I didn't want to get an off-brand screen of lower quality (or risk anything not fitting). Nothing but OEM Samsung here.
Hope you enjoyed
that looks awesome, it's pretty much a brand new phone now. if you dont mind could you provide the link for the OEM Samsung screen + frame for $150?
thanks
As good as new!

The auction is expired, but just search ebay and you'll find one. Make sure to get the right one (ie: verizon one won't work with a sprint frame, etc).

My nexus broke on my birthday on the 11th (My friend broke it) .. The phone is with the Service Center, they're saying it'll take about a month to fix it. I can't wait to get a new shiny nexus!
So I got my brand new sealed Huawei watch this morning for Christmas and absolutely love it. However after tinkering and setting it up I noticed the watch face was slightly turned left.... Anyone else see this??
My options now I think are to, call Huawei directly and get a replacement. Or I go to local best buy, buy one, swap the actual watch and return. I can't return from purchaser since it was a gift etc etc rabble rabble..

Call me unethical but I would probably go the Best Buy route. Obviously just return it in the Best Buy box so the numbers match on the box. They may only have the leather band version, but obviously just swap the band too. If you go the Huawei direct route you are sure to get a return / refurb.
I just got myself one for Christmas. I went with BH Photo. $309, no tax, free overnight shipping. I threw on the same watch face that you have on yours in the photo and mine is dead on. Yours is definitely off.
