OKIE DOKIE PIG IN A POKIE!
So I have recieved my Nokia 8800 Special Edition in Gun Metal Grey and decided that even though its a rare handset that is no longer sold in normal Phone shops that some ppl do have them and i want a phone thats unique so i've decided to embark on a project to get the back plate of the phone etched with a design of my choice...
on this thread i'm gonna detail the process and costs an also to help me find an image for the phone!!!
Enjoy!
First pics of the phone without ANY mods done!

Ok.... its only been a few mins but i've learned two things:
1.Laser Etching and Laser Marking are two different things!
2.For stainless Steel only laser marking can be used!!! (so this is the option i will go for!)
I have also emailed Laser Devils (http://www.laserdevils.com/) who seem to be THE guys in the UK that could posibly do this for me at a good price! They engrave Ipods so there aint much difference!!! lol.
I'm also buying a spare back from cnn.cn so that i can keep the original one without tampering wit it as its already etched by Nokia with the Number 14!!!
Oh an i've decided not to etch the front panel as i would need to dismantel the phone and even though i could if i wanted to without damaging it i dont want to jus yet!!! I'll be happy with just the back being done!
I've also found the following images for consideration for the back panel!
I love manga... spesh Final Fantasy (i own every original FF game from 1 on the NES to 12 on PS2, even if they r in Japanse!)...
If u c ne images please pop em on this thread so i can see!!! Thnx!

Um, so you're saying that these special editions are numbered, yet not unique enough?

I have just come across this blog.
I am the man for this job.
I have successfully tested on many spare phones and have succeeded in lasering my phone front and back (black 8800).
£275 lasering front and back and on desktop phones charger stand.
If you require the 8800 from me too then the prices are as follow:
8800 regular (silver or black) - £750.
Sirocco 8800 (silver or black) - £925.
My work is legit, and proffessional - if you dont believe me then email me for a image of my work, but no time wasters. (website coming soon)
