wow sammy, having another go at it? good luck man! Isn't that a T637?
because I have a T630, and it's white (have it a year now, in 9/10 condition
) it's quite a good phone. looking to flash it to T637 software, so as to have the 850 band and then sell it!
It's been a loyal phone till now, although some dust gets into many places like between the keys, in the speaker, and in the camera. I'm surprised the back part of your phone is scratched in the mirror part and not in the camera description (33mm, 1:2.
because on mine only that part has some paint peeled off. The rest is as new
I'd suggest if you could get a T630 keypad it would be cool, because it light up entirely, not only the characters, and soolks good in the dark
Sometimes some grease appears at the connectors on the bottom, they are visible and I remember that once it made the phone not have good contact with the charger pins, an I had to put some wheight on it so as to keep it in place. Later I descovered the grease there and took it out easily with a pin
Well, anyway good luck man! you're sort of like "recycling" the phones and so you also contribute to nature as well
Cheers
EDIT: that menu looks like a T610 one! because on T630/T637 there is the "my friends" menu in the place of Games, and that menu replaces the Shortcuts. Perhaps they gave you a T610 with T637 housing and a TFT screen?
can you check the software ? (and also if you have the 850 band please?)

Was there a My Friends menu on the T-Mobile branded T630? I seem to remember the black T630s being from T-Mobile.

This is an unlocked and unbranded T630, but yes, there is no 'my friends' menu on it! There's a 'Chat' menu in the messaging but that's about it.
My new facia has arrived, and is a genuine one! Unmarked, phone should look a lot better when it's fitted. Though I do have a problem in that indeed the screws currently in the phone don't fit, so I now have a slight delay whilst I get some screws. The guy who I got the phone off has actually found some screws and is kindly sending them on, hopefully I'll have the phone listed in Ebay in a few days

Yay!
Don't forget to post the link to the auction. I reckon you should get about £40.
How long is the sale gonna be 3 days, 5 days?

Will probably do a 3 day sale for it, will get the auction up once I've got the right screws as dont' want to wreck the threads on the new facia, don't think they'd physically go in even if I forced them anyways.
I was hoping to get the listing up today, never mind!

Don't think they'll let me sell her on Ebay!
Got some screws now that should fit the phone, so am going to swap the facias today, and perhaps get the phone listed on Ebay with any luck this evening!

good luck with the project sammy_boy, I have just completed the same trick to get my hands on an m600i from scratch aswell, feels very nice when you get what you have been waiting for.
I have been doing this with many phones for some time as you may have known, but just before xmas bought a faulty m600i for £68.03 and yesterday got it fully working again, now I need to sell my w810i, which I bought for £40 faulty couple of months back. Whenever I buy a new phone i usually sell the old one for more than I bought the previous one, so make a bit on the side.
Not sure I need to keep doing it as im pretty happy with my m600i as it is.

Just changed the facia and put the phone back together, all working fine except when I press the joystick right it selects instead of navigating right, bit of a bugger! Will probably have to take it apart and have another look, hopefully it's not a problem was working fine with the old facia on, could be I've put a screw on too tight even.
Phone looks very good and will hopefully net me a bit of profit when I've just fixed that joystick niggle
