CDMA HTC Touch Housing Replacement

xraider · #1 (**permalink**) 10-19-2008, 09:38 AM

I am looking for white housing for my Sprint Touch. I know that the GSM versions don't fit. This listing on eBay claims to be the CDMA version. There seems to be some merit partly based on the positioning of the camera's self-portrait mirror (slightly off angle to the left). The GSM mirror looks aligned straight up and down. Any thoughts?

hoover- thanks. did you do this for the sprint touch? how was the process for swapping out the housing? difficult or easy? last question, did the purchase come with the T5 screwdriver that you need to remove the screws? thanks again.

Yes my purchase came with the t5 but i ordered a spare because those things are not that great. Sprint, yes and the process was fairly simple there are a few tutorials around here some where when I find it I'll post a link for you.

Thanks to l3v5y over at xda here it is.This is for the elf but you'll get the Idea.

You can buy the screwdriver at any place that sells a good selection of tools. I got mine at Sears. Be VERY careful when you pry the front of the case off of the frame. While doing that to mine a while back, I tore a small hole in the ribbon for the LCD and had to end up replacing that also.

Other that that, it was pretty easy.

WOW, 70 bucks for an OEM style housing!
You can get a used whole touch for that on fleabay!

60 buchs for the red one at gsm4world is better, but anyone buy one of the e-bay white ones?
With verison xv6900 being CDMA, it makes sense it would fit the sprint unit...?

yeah it will fit fit the sprint units...i only found that site because i recieved a email that said i could get 50 % off of any purchase and have free shipping thats how it came up with the idea to change the oem housing.
