| Where to buy blackberry parts
I'm looking to buy blackberry parts such as bezels, trackpad, trackball and other accessories. Do you have any suggestions where should I buy?
Concern: quality, price and trust worthy of the company or site.

Just sent my order for housings, trackballs, and screen protectors to sw-box.
Ordered from them in the past 2 years and no problems at all. They're the best quality for the cheapest price in my opinion. The bezels at sw-box are pre-attached meaning you don't have to solder/glue on the top piece and bezel for a 9700.
Also check out sw-box's reviews from past buyers if you're still concerned about them: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/SW_Box
I've also ordered from eBay in the past and let me tell you: STAY THE FUCK AND FAR FAR AWAY FROM EBAY
They're quality is absolute shit. Trust me.
If you still need help on deciding check out this thread: http://forums.crackberry.com/f146/re...-parts-484523/

I've had the best experience with sw-box but depends on the items and if you don't mind waiting a month for shipping. There is a store in east van called bestbuy99. They're cheap but quality isn't great for bezels and housings (depends on which blackberry). Posted via RS Mobile | |

If you don't mind waiting at least 3 weeks for the parts, go with sw-box.

iirc if you stick some scotch tape on your battery so that it pushes up on the battery cover it won't be as loose. Worked for my tour

i put a half ripped business card in there between the cover and the battery. that seems to do the trick too.

another +1 for sw-box, i haven't bought anything from cnn.cn because my phone isn't that popular, 9630 Tour.
i find the stuff for the 9700 and the 9000 are pretty decent, parts for my phone suck.
