i buy my skins at visionskins.com. they are very good quality and quite cheap. right now on my phone i have a gloss black skin, and i used clear nail polish to glue little rhinestones on the skin so it looks like the black/rhinestone faceplate for the 8300. its pretty neat! people thought i was stupid for wanting to do it, but once it was done, they were all really impressed and they think it looks really nice. also, with the skins, i can remove it at any time so if i get sick of it, i can change it whenever i want. the skins protect your phone from scratches. if you choose to decorate your phone with rhinestones like i did, put them only on the skins and you wont void your warranty.

i just ordered two more skins last weekend - a pink sparkly one and a blue sparkly one - and i should be receiving them in the mail any day now. i'm really excited.

caliente,,, good name first of all...ill be frio and u can be caliente haha... no seri9osly tho... the only diffrence between the 2 really is, the 83 gut video, 72 seconds worth,.which in the end reaoly isnt worth 150.00... same phones basically... ware do u get ur skins and wut do they look like? i gut the blu 82 and i want the pink cover wit the diamonds, i saw it in the sprint store on the 83... and want it soo bad.. and i want the stuffed animal cover to protect it, from scratches cus this phones prone to scratches like u wouldnt believe... u can scratch it by ur bare fingernail...veri fragile...do u have any u wanna sell..i need sum BAD...but

i bought my 8200 a month before the 8300 came out. oh i was so mad lol. but when i thought about it, the only thing that really appealed to me about the 8300 was the changeable faceplates. sooo..... i decided to keep my 8200 and just put skins on them. i can change my phone to any color and decorate it however i want!

thank u... i jus checked out that page and wut i got from it is... like u said, multimedia which i rwally dont use, video capture, which i would use but not that often, and basically its 1gram less in weight, oh and also, a lil more in talk time,,, so basically the 8200 is the same thing ... i guess ill stick wit my 8200 UNTIL i can get the 8300 cheaper =)

The 8300 besides what you already mentioned also has video capture and changeable faceplates, they also improved the earpiece quality but not by much, here's a comparison chart >8200 VS 8300

hi, i have the 8200 and i been thinkin ALOT about the 8300. now from wut i undastand the only real diffrence between the 2 is, the 8300 is multimedia, meaning.. it has tv and a diffrent animal logo buddi... what else about it is diffrent, and in all of ur opinions, which is betta than 8200 or the 8300... and WHY.? lol i sounds like a teacher givin an assignment..haha, no seriously tho.. please help me out here, this is serious!
