The keypad is not black it just reflects from that shiny surface that the keypad has.I have never seen any black keys for the s700.

Hi, can anyone get a list of reputable SE repair centers. I am having my work cut out for me. I need a new housing and was looking for a place near me. (Oswestry Shropshire)
Thanks

Your nearest authorised repair centre is apparently MPRC, High Carr Business Park, Chesterton, Newcastle Under Lyme, Staffordshire.

Btw. That pic of the black S700 that someone posted looks like mine (I posted it in the modified phones thread a while ago) and I can confirm that they're the origional keys that came on the phone. The black has now been changed for chromed blue

I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose

Just a quick word of advice:

The aftermarket non-original housings (often seen with the text "FREE T6!" on ebay) are absolutely CRAP!

I spent several hours trying to get a good result, but ended up with having the unoriginal housing on my phone for a few days and then going back to the original scratched one. The housing is flimsy and the phone feels cheap and broken with the unoriginal one on.

Also, fitment is poor. The camera lens cover parts, for instance, was useless. The shiny metal ring around the camera was a cheap gray-silvery plastic piece with poor fitment making the camera lens hard to open, and so on, and so on.

If you want to replace your phone housing, go for original SE parts and save yourself a LOT of trouble.
