its changable if you are not afraid to take apart a phone

well it seems the best places to find covers are either taiwan, uk or mainland china. I know people who bought off that seller and didnt have issues with the cover recieved. they have black too.

changing the 903sh cover is tedious at first and many things can go wrong, really need to do it slowly and carefully the first time. I can take it apart now without issues, but the first time I made many errors, forgetting the microphones, the antenna, got a stripped screw.

i did take my friends 903sh apart recently...his hinge or screen cable was causing the phone to reboot
pics of it





this 903sh my friend bought for 23USD from ebay uk...with a broken charger port had and a 2006 model.

i bought from another seller, if that seller had the cover I would have bought from them. The one i got was missing so many little pieces I had to reuse a lot of my old stuff. I asked the seller of the one i posted and they said it comes with all the covers, like the earpiece cover, and the voda logo and screw covers.

well i am in the us, i spent 60-70usd at the time.

looks like terenshi got so906i...

i am not sure, but according to my friend when he would close the phone it would just reboot. I tried to replicate the issue and never got it. I just replaced the hinge and he uses his 903sh occasionally and hasnt had it reboot. WHen i swapped the hinge, the cable to screen wasnt really tightly on and it looked like it may have made contact that caused the reboot

you need a 5 star screwdriver, need to make sure all the little parts are transfered over, etc.
some info on it

reprovisoning cant be stopped on japanese firmware, you would need to reflash.

try to learn to use the short cut key and you can access most functions without repro

get used to it like others, supposedly hk or euro fw are a bit louder, not sure how true. But if you do use mmf you can try to edit to be louder. 904sh fixed the issue

i'm glad i didnt start modifiying my car and kept my car original getting good gas milage that in the USA most people have hummers and huge suv they are driving slow and clogging the roads still.

Added on June 4, 2008, 11:54 pm707scII is the usable one idk where to unlock, but you can try hypersim

This post has been edited by awong: Jun 4 2008, 11:54 PM

hmm anyone have any input on this issue?

I have a friend with a CID73 703shf and it worked with a hypersim for a while, but he master resetted it and now no hypersim works on it all he gets is insert usim. a vodafone/softbank cancelled sim card works with no problems, but he cannot get it to work with hypersim.

Any ideas? He isnt in airplane mode either. Now he is looking for anyone to do CID73 unlocking b/c of this. IS there anyway to avoid the cid 73 unlocking as its nearly impossible to find someone in north america to do it. (they stopped offering services for it or only do cid73 903)

loadest would be 904sh, not sure on prices though...

i thought most common 904sh color was black lol

no cant sell my 903sh...too much of a liability as is. there is also a black toshiba 902t

I think 705px and 705sh is obtainable at that price or below especially for a decent conditon used set. Plus its the white sets that seem to be worth more than black sets

i guess thats only for docomo and kddi being hard. using a softbank is as easy as say nokia and sony ericsson

well considering what americans have gotten yep, gotta thank having different frequencies for having special versions that the rest of the world has. Plus the size complaint I find funny, when so many americans love using blackberries, HTC, and other QWERTY phones that are quite large.

hehe its true for north america unless you go to chinatowns, or anywhere asian community here. but i want to try a korean phone next, but they cost double japanese phones and are even harder to get working in the US is doing illegal stuff to get it working

update phone which you cant since not in japan, and you'll get used to the prompt on some of the sharps lol
