When i installed it,i noticed that the bolt of the new housing is not connected to the housing anymore. Now i have two stuck screws on the middle part of the phone.. I suggest that you guys shouldnt buy this. Its cool thought because i have half black silver and half black to match my ad41 and my black headphones. I call it Nokia E61 Music Edition. :) Yall know what sucks? i bought a black housing hoping that it would look nice, it does, but its totally crap.

Most are from Singapore and some are from Hong Kong. The vendor I bought mine from is called "awakingdragon". He supplies a torx screw driver with the housing. Andy, fanny, Mark,

I've looked for shells from the eBay but there seems to be a few different sellers. Which one did you use? Thanks! Machani:

This is because the new housing, being of lighter material, does not resonate as well as the original Nokia housing. I found that using the original back housing plate instead of the new one fixes this issue and the vibration alert is much improved. So this results in a variation of the two tone Nokia E61, and I don't think it looks bad either! http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8192/e61origbackwx2.jpg After “debugging” the new E61 two-tome housing configuration I found one minor problem - the effect of the vibration alert is somewhat deminished with the new housing.

" Scott Grieff Says: "I’ve balked at your other mod posts, but this one is kinda cool. But unless the blue came in a magnesium shell, I’ll pass." Neither the original nor the new housing is metal. Both are of plastic with a metallic surface finish. The new (eBay) housing is lighter and, on first impression, flimsier than the original Nokia housing. However, the new housing is actually quite tough. I dropped my phone once after installing the new housing and it held up fine. Some tips: The new housing fits snugly. When installing the new housing, the torx screw must be tight but not over tight. The new power button rattles a bit. So I used the original one, which has a rubber backing piece, and it no rattle. matt Says:
