    Hi,
    I want to change the LEDs in my Nokia 3330 to nice blue ones.
    I've been doing some searching around the net and through the news group
    archives. I reckon I should be able to do the modification my self, but
    I still have a couple of questions about the LEDs.

    I've seen a number of sizes for LEDs recommended for the Nokia 3330,
    namely 0805, 1106 and 1208. One of these sizes must be a better fit than
    the other two? Which size is the best to go for?

    My second question is what brightness should I be looking for? I've seen
    blue LEDs ranging from 6mcd to 160mcd. I just want a nice deep blue.
    I've read that the ultra bright ones at around 160mcd give more of a
    light blue effect, but 6mcd sounds the LED will be almost be off! Also,
    does the viewing angle make any difference seeing as it will be diffused
    by the keypad and LCD screen?

    Finally if anyone could give me any pointers to places to buy the LEDs
    from in the UK and order numbers that would be of great help. So far
    I've looked at RS Electronics and Farnell.

    The LEDs I've found at Farnell are:
