hi everyone. like a lot of other people on here i got duped into a silver k750i by vodafone, which in my opinion looks no where near as stylish as the black one. I recently took the plunge and ordered a black housing kit off ebay (about 30 dollars) it arrived last night and though it wasn't exactly easy to fit, I managed it and now it looks so much better. so if anyone else was thinking about it, my advice is do it!!!!

This is a great place to get replacement bits and especially useful for de-branding the K750i:

Great bit is that you can buy just the part you need rather than the full kit (although could be more expensive).

Wonder if someone would be kind enough to create a cover swapping faq with pictures?

looks good. I don't think there is an easy way to get the cover off - it's just a matter of wrestling it off and at one point I was worried about breaking it!!!!

think the silver version does look ok when photographed - but in the flesh it definately looks a bit cheap and 'plasticky' compared to the black.
