Hi All,
I am looking for a Qtek 9090 housing. Anyone know where can i
get it online from ?
not online, but if its still in warrenty try calling your local bratch of HTC. They offer a 'chasis replacement service' for 40 quid in the uk!!
Hi there, you mention that HTC has local branches in the UK that change chassis...would you have any contact details? Thanks
Go to http://www.htceurope.com/ and register your phone for case booking. Make up some story about a fake problem with the phone and you'll see a cosmetic refurb (or something along those lines) for 39.95. someone will get in touch with you can get it picked up and sent to HTC in milton keynes. And when it comes back your have your blue angel looking brand new!
But I dont know where you could buy the case and fit it yourself. ALSO RESTORE THE FACTORY ROM OR YOU COULD BE IN SOME SERIOUS LEGAL ****!!!

Qtek 9090 housing ....
hey guys, any idea ?

We are now in 2007. Does anyone knows were to get the Qtek 9090 back housing (battery holder)??
I don´t know exactly which part you mean. Put have a look here: http://www.apexlaptops.co.uk/Blue Angel.htm
I mean the back of the BA... the big blak plastic were the battery fits, were is the hole for the camera and were the stylus fits...
I don't mind if it is used.. just that is in one piece..

Have you tried it yet?
I just ordered a new Hermes Replacement housing from cnn.cn, however I haven't received it yet.
If you are ordering one just make sure you order the right one for your phone.
For instance, the TyTN replacement body will not work on a 8525 and vise versa...

I was looking over the cnn.cn and from first looks, it seems like the 8525 OEM black housing will work with the TyTN phone.
Is it confirmed the two will not work with one another? They are the same identical phone but with out the front camera on the 8525. If anyone will or has tried let us know.
I haven't tried, but I doubt it would. If you compare the positions on the different buttons - you can see that it the buttons doesn't correspond on the two different models. I'll buy the housing for TYTN to be sure it fits.
Wonder if they supply a instruction manual with it... Anyone knows?
The 8525 case that cnn.cn has for sale shows a front camera hole but no video call button which is something I would prefer, but where do you get the d-pad from? For those looking for a disassembly of the hermes have a look here on the wiki.I think there could be a really good combination of part to make a really nice looking hermes.
Dangnabbit.
I just ordered that Black Housing, but didn't notice the lack of a video call button. I hope it wont matter during installation on my Xda version
I've replaced the housing on my Vario ii for that of an SPV M3100 with no problems whatsoever - it was really quite straightforward. I kept the t-mobile directional pad as I preferred the look of it.
Changing the housing on a model of hermes with a different layout however is not so straightforward as it involves not only changing the keypad itself but also the little pcb underneath which is slightly different between Herm models.
it is certainly possible to replace the slide mechanism, keyboard and backplate between ANY model of Hermes, and some nice combinations are possible. I have a vario ii orange backlit keyboard if anyone wants it.
chinaonnitrous1!
Let us know how it went
Thanks!
they carried 2 housing...the only different is the key pad layout...so pay attention to the key pad...
This company is very slow in responding to email. I send them 2 email about a week ago asking for shipping date...yet no respond
Thats interesting, I ordered something from them on thursday, I got an email withing hours saying it had shipped with a tracking number...
As for the keypad layout, if you wanted to use the Black case you would have to also find the keypad to match it, as well as the PCB that goes beneath. cnn.cn has the parts for the TyTN, but not the 8525.
Maybe someone with good dremel and case modding skills could make it look good though.
Does anyone actually have the Black HTC TyTN that they were supposedly shipping? I was going to get one, but then everyone convinced me not too, I'd be interested to see some pics though.
I'lll get the housing withhin a week.
I'll post pics and everything.

Thanks mate!
chinaonnitrous1 any news on how it went ?
I bought from http://cnn.cn/shop a case for 8525 and the external keyboard because I have a SPV M3100. I am waiting for the package and I'll put some pictures of the case. I hope the quality of the case is ok.
I just received my new TyTN case from cnn.cn. It is a dopod branded case, slightly different colour than my original TyTN case. I guess I would call the colour "graphite".
It is definately an original case off of a phone, it still has the old IMEI and Serial Number on the sticker on the back.
Build quality is good, it doesn't look like it is off a used phone. One thing I noticed however was that the silver metal on the front was slightly pulled up, and there were some adhesive remnants on the side of the case. I'm sure it will clean up fine with a little solvent though.
I haven't replaced it yet, I am waiting on a new keypad circuit board (mine is fried, you have to push it ridiculously hard to get it to work), and I will open it up then and replace everything.
Ordering from CNN.CN was pretty good. Shipping was $5 CAD, and it took about a week and a half to arrive. A signature was required, but there were no fees or duty.

Hi, I'd be interested in the keypad, if it's still available? I've dropped my VarioII and the keypad is slightly bent lol
where did you get the replacement body from?
Cheers
After messing up the missus' initial order of this handset, they've now messed up the replacement order I placed for it.
Result? Any colour you like so long as it's frigging pink.
Anyone know if it's possible to get cheap replacement panels that replace the pink bits with black ones? Alternately another UK source of these handsets?
I've contacted Expansys UK and Italy but I have been told that there is no plan to sell again the black version which is weird because until few days ago there where thousands of i-mate and qtek available...I guess you can always buy a used black one and change the panel on the pink one...it sounds pretty easy, you can follow instructions at http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_star_trek/
Cheers
i got bit by this

I don't think that changing the top cover is a job for the faint hearted.
The missus pink one arrived yesterday - they are, well, pretty loud. they've also got a ribbed aluminium finish on the pink bits. she's happy, but if you're considering one on the grounds that no-one'll notice they're pink - trust me they will!
All -
I'm looking for an OEM *black* housing for the Cingular 8525. I know that the housing for the Hermes has the front camera hole and I'm okay with that - I can just cover it up somehow. I just hate things of mine being branded and my phone saying Cingular bugs me. Plus - I want it to be uber-cool and black (like the OEM HTC Hermes). I can't seem to find one of these housing's *anywhere*. I know there used to be some on Ebay but I can't find any now
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the response but I already *have* that housing... It's amusing that the seller calls that black - it's "gunmetal" - more like a dark gray/silver... I want one that merely says "HTC" on the back with their logo and is *truly* black... I know they used to be around but drats I can't find one for the life of me...
Nobody? I so covet a new housing...
Hi all, yesterday was a sad day for me as I dropped my hero and have managed to crack the back cover! it's only very slight however i would like to replace it. any know where I can get one?
ill second that because mine makes all the time cracking sounds (cuz of a small tore), anyone here from germany?
Would also like a graphite one, don't like the orange logo :/
Has anyone found one yet?
It might not be worth buying the whole housing but keep an eye on this:-

Maybe they will sell the back cover only in the near future.
