Edit: Pictures of the T630 now up on the first post!

Just found and bought what's described and what looks like a grade A genuine grey facia for the T630 here on Ebay for £5.48, which brings my total initial outlay up to £17.48 on my first phone.

I could have gotten a slightly cheaper non-genuine one, and there were plenty from Hong Kong, but had delivery times of 7-14 days, and I suspect wouldn't be genuine ones! This one looks genuine and for a great price too, time will tell, hopefully I'll recieve it shortly!

A little aside by the way, this is actually the first T630 I've ever owned, think I've had almost every other model at some stage except for this one!

Good luck and hope you like the phone! Did my best to get it upto scratch by flashing it and all that other stuff!

Only £17.48 and is it working ok so far?

I'm jealous...

Though just been informed that the screws are from a Nokia so I may have a problem gettin the screws to go into the new facia, or i'll have to be on the lookout for some cheap/spare screws for it!

But the main thing is the phone itself works fine, for me as long as the mainboard is in full working condition then a phone is salvageable.

Yeah, forgot to tell you that before, its just the screws are a little big and forcing them into the holes may be a bit of a problem, i did that once and it ripped out the metal thred on the facia :S

@Sammy_boy

I fell upon a site that did proper screw packs. I will try and remember where I seen it.

EDIT:

Don't know if these will be any good, they are for a K750i :-

Thanks for the link, though they may be a bit too big, and shipping from Hong Kong would take rather a long time. I might see how these Nokia screws fit.

Shame I don't have another dead SE to pinch the screws out of!

Hey great idea. I just realised how i changed an old LG into a Motorla V3x earlier in the year. (with a few trades along the way) and i then swapped the V3x for a k800.

This works if you stick to your guns!

The k750i screws shpuld fit, its just that the nokia screws are wider then the SE ones. Im 99% sure on that but dont hold me responsible
