Do the replacement covers come with all the pices for a full cover change? Can you buy pieces of them seperately?

I need to replace the cover on the back, but the rest is perfect.

Anyone have an AUD$ price on these?

The replacement covers are fronts only. I'm not sure where you can get the back cover for the battery.

No, not the battery, the bit above that, where the aerial is.

Hi there,

It's good to hear from someone who is a also a T68 user in Australia, cos I dont find many of us in this forum. I have got my T68i for couple of months and it has been great

the only negative things about the phone is,
1) Menu/input/response speed is slow compared to previous generation Nokia 82xx series (cos I used to use a 8210)
2) Dust get in between case and screen, cant clean by myself unless I can get my hand on a T-6 screw driver and don care about voiding the warranty, or otherwise have to bring it to a service point.

I like this phone, cos I want functionality, up to date features and resonable small size. The small size, colour screen, infra red/bluetooth, good battery time has got me

I want to replace my front plate as well, cos I have dropped my phone when I was on a gravel ground, and it now has 2 nasty scars on it, lucky they are not on the screen. Too bad, SE hasnt made any screen protective case for it yet I have got the ICT-13, but it doesnt protect the screen, the only thing it protects is the battery)

So, how much is the replacement cover?

HolyBear, the ICT-14 works wonders.

Agreed about the slow menus HolyBear.

It's not like the Nokia's where you can be three presses ahead of the phone and it will catch up.

I am yet to have any problems with the dust under the screen, dunno why that is??

Getting a Nokia 8855 today, cant wait to have a play with that.

Ok, I saw em on ebay, none in Aust, but a few in UK.

Has anyone seen a FULL replacement set for the Actic Blue T68i with the white back, as I want to replace the antenna cover for the moment, and then I will do the full change when the warranty is up or can I get a SE Service Point to do it for me?

Yea, I have found them on eBay, but they are charging something like $33USD for the original Artic Blue cover. This is not cheap at all Just remember even the orinal Nokia 8xxx covers aren't that expensive.

Hello,

I want to get the black rubberized antenna cover for my T68i (I want to change the look of mi phone).

The only way to get it via ebay? I am afraid of buying at ebay due to the scams and frauds.

Cheers,

Go there and and read about covers for sale. I bought 2 of Shima so he's a nice guy! But most important he got the Adriatic blue cover which is very rare!

Yup, I bought a faceplate from Shima too.
Didn't have the Adriatic Blue though, but I changed it to a mineral gray and it looks all pretty and new again
