My BOLD with Black Bezel. Replaced it because I tried attempting a Brushed Aluminum look.
[snip]
What did you use? I tried to do it with a scourer (the one with a sponge and a scratchy bit) and all I can say is: Epic Phail.
Looking sweet with that bezel though.

Held a Bold in my had for the 3rd time, really got to check settings and such - was NOT impressed. Too large - only benefit is the screen & text. Anyone that has tried reading an eBook or PDF on a PDA of old for more than 2hours will appreciate the Bold or 8900. Still the Bold has always looked old in styling already resembles the 8800 series in my mind - without the screen. I cannot wait when Nokia comes to their senses and uses the HVGA Landscape/Portrait modes in their S60 then we'll have a serious duel.
Not like we've never seen pics of these before I was just bored and had my camera out, and saw this thread and figured why not...
And no, I didn't unlock my iPhone. 3 UK is the network that AT&T says I may have the pleasure of paying $1.29/min for voice, and $20/MB for data to roam on

I didn't, but that's a good way to do it
I have data roaming off and have only made one minute worth of calls while over here, and sent a few texts at 50 cents a piece. I'll probably call my folks back home again for a couple more minutes, but data roaming is staying off. I hope to keep my roaming charges under $20

LMAO Are you serious. I used 1000 grade Wet/Dry sand paper.
This is why I love it, I can replace each part of my BlackBerry.
Should be getting the Blackberry Curve 8900 on Friday
^ Great phone that E71, I got it myself [RM357 or E71-2 for 3G here]
Well you're going back to EDGE on the 8900, also kiss the freedom of your WLAN goodbye and browsing speeds.
So it's friday, and that means Blackberry Curve 8900
^ Good for you. Personally for my tastes I wouldn't go back to EDGE after enjoying 3.5G. Maybe you can check out my mobile server ... hosted directly on my E71, and you can check out files/access my phones camera/send me sms or files via Safari/IE/FireFox on your Mac/PC. No backend needed.
I'm using a $100 pre-paid Samsung U510 from Telus. It's no iPhone sure (though I may replace it with one when the new one comes out), but it gets the job done with some features to keep me happy. (mp3, camera, internet, etc).
You can pretty much replace each part of ANY phone with cnn parts online (OEM parts I might add)
Oddly enough the BB's Achilles heel is the trackball.
I don't get great signal around my area, so for the majority of my time with the E71 I was only experiencing EDGE anyway. I've also noticed the Curve's browser, on EDGE, is a lot faster than the E71 browser (Obviously if I had 3G signal the E71 would be quicker).
Really the only reason for letting the E71 go was the Symbian OS, I was just never happy with it. Far too much 'burrowing' down into settings to change things for my liking. Still, it was an excellent phone that I just can't seem to have any luck selling on eBay.
