    Let me know how it goes...and possible pic's when your done....like I said...I do like the look of that tribal.

    Man, that would almost scare me having to take apart the entire phone...almost!

    One other thing I forgot to mention....you do know you are voiding your warranty on the phone right? So, any issues that may arise within the next year....you are screwed.

    Wow...that tribal one does look nice.

    I have no idea. I looked around the web for some information on how to do this, but could find nothing in my short time looking.

    Sorry I could not be of any more help.

    There are two small plastic circles on the inside face. They are to the outside of each speaker on the bottom...they must be removed carefully.

    Then there are two other screws at the top of each speaker. They are both under those little squares you see at the top inside corner of the speaker. Removing them is a bit more difficult.

    Once you have them removed, you will need a T6 or jewler's screwdriver (phillips head) to remove the screws.

    Now remove the faceplate very carefully.

    Now just reverse the above instructions to put your new faceplate on.

    I know of one person that has done this...said it was a royal pain to do...and when he was done, put the old one back on, as the new one was of poor quality and looked ugly with the rest of the phone.
