I don't understand...

What is the point of this? Just so you have silver answer/end buttons?

Hey !! Wow where did you get that phone with the silver buttons.. mine doesn't have that..

Yes, it's called personalizing or customization.

You know, like pin strips, chrome rims, dash, side panel teak wood / felt / leather trim that people do to personalize their cars..

A bit of unique, even if only I see it.. Knowing it can be done and done by me. Sort of personal satisfaction and taste..

I ordered it. Will see if it transplants ok. BTW, Bell Mobility's & Verizon's White Touch comes with silver/chrome send and end buttons.

I was also considering buying the speaker antenna replacement parts for a P3450, to see if they are adaptable to the P3050.

Reason for that? Would be correct placement of speaker to use the P3450 battery covers. Why? They come OEM Green, White, Magenta etc.. But there might be an actual size difference of 1mm between the devices.. So I will do more research before going that route.

The external antenna connection placement won't matter to me, since I do not plan on plugging one up to my phone any time soon. (it's behind the self portrait mirror over the camera, which acts like a cover)

They seem to have become available again on eBay, at a bit higher price, here:

My order shipped today (from Hong Kong). Went for it because of the idea clockcycle planted in my brain with his post 2 years ago. Since my Vogue's digitizer has been going from requiring regular screen alignments to being all but totally out of control, I'm gonna have to open her up. So might as well use the opportunity to put in custom chromee buttons at the same time as replacing digitizer. Will report results (and/or troubles) when complete (or stuck).
