Well now that my P900 2 was getting on, i felt like it could do with a face lift.

so got straight on ebay, got my self a dead cheap black housing from HK and started work.

let me tell you, it was a challenge, not being an official housing it had bits where there is ment to be a different bit??? so there was a bit of hacking involved.

Finally slapped on a bit of P910 firmware and i got my self a true P905i.

By the way the pictures dont do the phone justice. (im not the greatest photographer.












so, tell me what you guys think. First time i really tampered with the hardware, firmware is much easier - you just click some buttons and do a bit of typing.

@Guy89

i am sure you could have a go. Dont much like the red version but i like the blue one. Black like the V800 would look pretty cool

here is the pic requested

this all just makes me want to change the housing on my P910 moreso than I already do. I wish it were as easy to find housings for that as it is to find housings for the P900.

and is there a guide as to how to remove the housing?

@shaheen,

i cant find the cover on ebay anymore, but i think they had a website - i will try and find it for you.

i dont think there is a guide for this, but if you need help i just ask me.

one of the most difficult bits was getting the little clear plastic bits that cover the LED's out of the old cover and putting them in the new one. They were different shapes to i hade to cut them a bit.
