K750i: Black vs Silver
I've been wondering...
Is the silver one rare as i've only ever seen owners of the black one. Its really popular, seen loads of people in loads of different places such as buses, the town centre, work and various other places. I've never seen anyone with the silver one. I know its the vodafone exclusive model and i have one myself but noone else seems to. Is it that its rare because there aren't many of them around or what?

Probably because people don't want them on Vodafone. They limit the MP3 settings for ringtones and stuff.
I got mine in Red on T-Mobile

It hasn't been out as long as the Black if I'm correct. Also has the rubbish Vodaphone software, but that's another thing.

Under the battery cover is 2 screws below the camera cover, unscrew these and the back cover pops off. Below this is 4 screws, undo these and the front can then be clipped off. Pop a new one on and screw it back into place. |

Cool, Thanks. Would a real replacement case be hard to get?

Well, actually, I've just seen the "Genuine" in the title. Might buy it actually. That+ A walkman FW would breathe some life into this year old phone.
