My Bold with the Black Bezel
 

Here's my bold with the OEM all black bezel. Not the easiest job but with patience and the right tools it's not that hard.

Tools I used.

did you use the old buttons from original bezel?

was the sd card door hard to take off and re install?

i ordered the blk bezel, buttons and t5 screw driver...should be here soon.

any tips or advice?

I used the old buttons although it would have been a little easier with the new buttons I would imagine. The SD card door is actually pretty easy to pull off and put back on. The harder part was the little metal charging contacts at the bottom on either side. You are definately gonna need a good pair of tweezers for those.

Great job! It definitely has a very unique look to it now.

VERY NICE (y)

It looks great dude !! I think I might do the same with my Bold . . . by the way you what would make your Bold look better ?? use one of my themes ;-)

I wanted to use once of your Jolie themes but there's no download link.

Very nicely done. That is a great looking phone. Do you have any creaking in the top bezel area? ... and why didn't mine ship with a black bezel? ;-)

Looks spectacular.

Whoa! Now THAT'S how RIM should have made it! Awesome mod!!

Damn you! I was planning on being the first to do this, except that my bezel and tools won't be here until next week. Ah well... looks awesome! :razz:

I wonder if we will be able to add the trackball from the Javelin once it is released? Add that, and you can take a line from Spinal Tap... "None more black."

By the way... what theme is that?

This one.

Thanks.

how did u do this? I'd like to do the same to my bold.

is it easy to diy?
