Has anyone else seen one of these, and is as pissed about it as I am. Alltel is getting the mogul with a black case and I want one oh so badly, but considering I switched from alltel's **** service to begin with I am not gonna go back. Think it is possible to get a hold of some black case plastic parts and swap them minus the softkeys on the front?
For the ones who have not seen here is a link:

just wait a little while. verizon is buying alltel, so you might be able to pick up the alltel mogul and have verizon add the ESN to their database.
I know that I had seen a website selling the casings, even a Sprint branded black one. I don't really remember the site, though I think I read about it on ppcgeeks. I'll post here if I find anything.
I have an all black one with no branding, its a pre-prod case with new hardware
so, uh.... where'd you get it?
that was the most irritating loading screen ever... looking at it, i wanted to punch someone in the face.
the phone looks nice tho

im looking for the link as well... i know its SOMEWHERE... i had it... about a month ago... there is a site that sells the black shells for the moguls WITHOUT branding...
The 1 DOWNFALL to this site and the shells is... NO GPS ANTENNA...
BUT!!! if your going to replace your shell ANYWAY you should be EASILY able to remove the one from your stock shell and place it into the black one.. (i cannot remember if it has the plastic fittings but super glue or super thin sticky tape will work just as well)
EDIT: Found the youtube of the black sprint branded one... still not the website that sells them tho...

You can sand down the ppc6800 stock housing and it will become black. Problem is you cannot sand it down where icons are painted.
I am thinking of doing it when I get some free time but I am not sanding down the buttons.

If you've owned your Wing for a while, then you might have ran into this problem like I have--the paint on the buttons chip off! Is there are place to get replacement ones? All I see are cases...

I would looooooooove one of those -- I'd gladly pay $50 for it
I Like the DEV Phones Glossy Keyboard, looks good on it. Although that does mean smudges out of this world lol. Have you looked into getting that design inscribed on the back of your cover?
Concerning back covers.
I have already ordered one from HTC to replace my grey one with a black one. Unfortunately they didnt have the white UK one. Why not order a replacement for 15 dollars and have it sent out and painted? I am sure it can't be more than 50 dollars when finished.

Finally? This was posted at least one week ago. They don't seem to answer my emails so I don't know what to think. I find the replacements very expensive as well specially the digitizer. Personally find it very hard to wreck the LCD without wrecking the digitizer, which in that case will be very expensive to replace, over 360$. And that's if you replace the parts yourself.
Oh well It's good someone has these replacements parts but the screen has been on Ebay for much less, still no sign of the digitizer.
Sorry my phone has been out of commission for a while and decided to check the other day for parts and ran up on them. Decided to post the links...Oh well. I bought my bro's broken g1 for 50 bucks and put his screen in mine. Not sure what is wrong with his goes straight to the recovery mode and some keys dont work.
No problem. Good you managed to open the internals of your device. I can't remove the housing from the back.
Is it hard to take the g1 apart and put it back together. I scratched the housing and was thinking bout getting a replacement and transferring everything. But im scared i might mess sumthing up.

Probably not difficult for someone who has opened a lot of phones. This is my first time.
That sounds like a ripoff to me. You can get a decent 22" LCD for that price.

It looks like they heard you. I just checked it out and the Window Lens Glass with Touch Screen Digitizer is now available by itself and it is much cheaper. Check it out http://www.cellulardr.com/G1Digitizer.htm
Ok so during a party.. i dropped my phone in the back yard.... didnt realize it until the next day when i couldnt find it... well when i walked outside (in the cold rain) I found it under 3" water...
well the phone works... still works like a champ... but however only one thing is not working.. I cant get the screen to recalibrate...
i reset the phone.. didnt work... put OEM rom on it and when you boot it up.. it says... tap here to setup ... well I tap and that works (so touchscreen working????) then go to click the middle of the screen but to no avail.....
put the rom in my sig back in.... and on touch flo I can slide my finger across the bottom..... back and forth... but then stops working...... weird...
went to sprint to "see what would happen"... guy opened it up and said that there was this small piece of corrossion... you could barely see it but i wasnt about to argue.... he said i had to go through insurance.... he then said insurance is up to $125!!!! WTF!!!! I pay $7 a month for 2 phones minimum!!!!! to overpay for a replacement!!!!! im cancelling the insurance...
but i do have $175 credit with sprint.... do they have a replacement yet? lady on the phone tried getting me to buy the touch pro.... $575 - $175 - $100 MIR = $300 up front and $200 after rebate.... dont want to put that out right now....
all the palm stuff means all my apps wont work.... so that sucks...
Well the touch pro is wm so I dont know why you think it is palm. And submit a claim online on assursion website. I am fairly certain is is not $125

sorry for the confusion on the palm side... i was trying to say that the touch pro is too much for me right now.. i could go with one of the palms but then all my apps are no good....
also i just checked on the website and the deductible is $100.... so not sure what im gonna do yet.... need a phone...
my wife wants me to use her fusic.... but it wasnt good enough for her....but i guess it is ok for me now... i need my wm!!!!!!! NEED MY XDA ROMS!!!!!!!!!!!
Start the insurance claim. It will state which phone your phone will get replaced with. You might be a upgraded to the 6850 which is the TP. Heck $100 is great for a TP.
You could do surgery. More than likely the corrosion is causing a short. A small fine brass brush & a 5x eye loop could do the trick. I've had to do this at least 3 times with my girlfriends phone (her work environment and constant need to have on hand. Inevitable). I found corrosion (the blueish kind) in the connectors between the head and body & the USB connector. It's amazing how hardy these phones seem to be (3in water. wow).
But reading your post. I would say you still have water in the screen. This causing a short. For a few bucks you can get a screw driver set & pry tool to open.
well I bit the bullet..
$100 through insurance..
this phone appears to be new.... as in I do not see one scratch or blemish on the body or screen. Also there were yellow clear tape on the side buttons and bottom ir.
well this thing also seems really fast compared to my last one... even with the default rom.
I really liked the rom in my sig but im gonna hold off as I got SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 and really like it... was using that before....
It has
rom version 3.56.651.0
rom date 06/16/08
radio version 3.42.02 - gonna go to 3.50 after i get all my apps loaded and test the gps
hardware version 0003
prl version 60652
pri version 2.04_003
so far so good
without SPB running (in ROM stock form) = 24.6mb free
with SPB Running = 18.9mb free

They just recently sent me one too. What you should have done is call retentions and argue with them. Worked for me . They constantly screw my bill up and when I finally needed something they came through. They credited my account $100 then assurion charged me $100 for the claim in my bill so it washed out. Only problem is they sent me a defective one so after more yelling they decided to give me a new one. Also, just an fyi, but the refurbs they send out have new faceplates and casings so they look new but the "guts" are refurbs. I'm told there are usually no hardware probs (except the one I had) and the software is something a good custom rom can't fix.
Dunno if you've had any luck yet or not,. I have a parts unit at home, It used to be my wifes phone until the day she wanted me to replace the casing on it since it was scratched. Long story short, I have a working screen boards but the cable that goes between the slide outs is damaged and I never found a replacement for it.
Let me know if your interested it any of the parts. The keyboard is brand new, casing is new. Screen is used but has no scratches. Im not really trying to make any money but it would be nice to get some money back I invested in this thing.
PS DO NOT EVER RIP THE STUPID CABLE BEHIND THE SCREEN GOING TO THE KEYBOARD. IT IS VERY DELICATE and I gave up on finding a replacement.
I kept the parts incase damaged MY unit but I anticipate not needing them. My contract expires in Jan and I will be dumping my mogul for an android phone.
Anyways PM me if you want to talk about offers on what parts you may need.
Good luck
Anyone else having a problem with the white paint chipping off the white EVO?
I noticed around the edges of the rear frame the paint is starting to come off revealing the red plastic underneath. I called several Sprint stores none of them carry the actual white parts for the EVO, One tech suggested I buy the parts on ebay and install them myself, Another tech wanted to charge me $35 just to look at the phone and then decide whether or not to file a warranty claim for the EVO.
Does any of this sound right? I have only been with Sprint for a few months.

going to a sprint tech center is a horrid experience. your almost better fixing it yourself or selling the phone and getting another one.

Take it back to BestBuy... Lol
I would just pull the back off the phone and repaint it. You could actually paint it any color you want. I'm actually going to paint my otterbox so the wife and I can tell the difference between our phones(we both have EVO's with the same style otterbox.

A store once told me to go buy a stylus for my Treo at Radio Shack when mine broke.
I called Executive Escalations and explained the situation, had a stylus overnight and as far as I was told the store was reprimanded.
Don't take their BS.

I'm trying to be a nice guy, I don't want to escalate anything if I don't have to, I will if it's necessary. So far it seems the Sprint at the stores are not even prepared for working on the white EVO, They don't even carry the parts....
I've had nothing but good experiences with the sprint repair centres. Took my phone in last week cause the speaker sounded bad, they replaced the whole back half of the phone, free, no questions asked in about 10 minutes, they didn't even mention the fact my phone said "freshhh" when it booted up lol.
I brought my microUSB cable in as well because the end bent and it stopped charging the phone. I figured its my fault, they'll sell me a new one but he just grabbed me a new one and off I went, great experience.
This week my GPS stopped working so back I went, they looked at it and ordered me a new phone, again no questions asked, no charge.
So I would say go to a different sprint store. Everyone complains about Sprints customer service but I've had nothing but good experience.

I don't think it so much a customer service issue, As it's just that they are not
prepared to repair the White EVO. I only have a handful of Sprint Stores in my area, So far everyone I have talked to has not been much help. The last thing I want to is drive even farther to get the same answer.
i have the white evo and the paint chips and its orange. its annoying =(
Ummmm ummmm yea.....i don't know what to tell you...I'm confused by this thread and its meaning for creation. You probably are upset but I would suggest painting it yourself maybe?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App using Swype and Warm 2.2 RLS3
Id like to see some finished results of the battery cover and the piece underneath the front benzel painted some different colors before i go doing my own. I own a black evo so I don't even know if painting would even be an option. Still, I'd like to see.
Sprint stores don't have stock for any white parts yet, so there's nothing that can be done. Though, even if there were parts, paint is considered cosmetic damage, and not covered. You also have to remember that stores are JUST getting stock of the white EVOs, for sale in a few days. Many have never even SEEN a white one in person.
That being said, as much as I love the look of the white, I've seen the paint chipping too often to get one. Sad.
haha.. i traded out my white evo for a black one for this reason
