Well, I ordered the black bezel from CNN and damn the bold looks nice with the black bezel.

Read the fine print though... I noticed today that the buttons are not included, so you have to strip the buttons off the silver bezel and apply to the black. Also.... its not as easy as the curve to put together or take apart... very frustrating but with some patience.... you can do it : ) .. but its not for the nervous or faint of heart. LOL

Also noticed on cnn while watching the assembly video... that there is not a DENIM battery cover for the bold. lol

wish CNN had included the black buttons...... such a pain to transfer and they didn't stick well to the new pins inside. Almost broke out the crazy glue... but I resisted !

Naw, it loos good with silver buttons. This is the same thing i have on mine. I just need a blue or red backing and it will look aewsome

The Bold looks amazing. I won't dare to remove my bezel. Knowing me, I would not have the patience to put it back together.

Will definately check it out. Thanks Darryl

[stolt]

had to take my bld apart during the week because i dropped it and damaged the bezl. just replaced with a silver bezel. but black does look good, still on the lok out fo nice stitched brown leather back.

the only problem i had was putting back together again, took a little time to get the inards back in the bezel but used my credit card to prise it open a little bit then no problem.

Ohhh yeah! It was a challenge to get it to fit in the bezel for sure! But I gotta say that it fits back together tight and feels like new...only blacker. Hahaaa. Like I said not an easy job, but with patience it can be done.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ I am just curious, how hard would it be to switch out the keypad? If I end up getting the ATT Bold, I want the keypad with the red numbers.

[thasiccest13]

How long does it take to get an order from cnn.cn?

[NICKY88XX]

i honestly like the white on white better for some reason..

[NICKY88XX]

when i order from them it cant take anywhere from a week to 2 weeks sometimes i heard of things taking even longer.. there in hong kong

[mac14x]

I lik the red buttons more, since it stands out and ya don need to look for em< i always do express shippin takes like 4-7 dayz

I agree, the red buttons are awesome. I have the ATT bold and already got the black bezel on there. Gonna order a red number keypad from CNN and drop it in as well.

[jaesternbach]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ is it hard to switch keypads? Do you have to take everything apart?

[darryl71]

to get to the keypads you have to take everything out of it.... its not that fun : )

[Kyo0tdemon]

I like the Bold in all black A LOT!

[mac14x]

It is fun lol, I love talking ma bold apart and its so easy

[darryl71]

its definitely tougher than the curve... but not TOOOOO bad. ya know it would have been easier if the buttons would have stuck to the black bezel instead of falling off every 3 seconds....

But I am pretty brave and love taking things apart.

[gatechfireblade]

Its not that bad getting everything apart really.. Getting everything in can be tricky and I would NOT recommend doing it without a screen protector of some sort on your screen. Also, the buttons on the black bezel do not stay attached very well until you put the midplate and circuit board back in. A little trick to keep them in place is to put them in and tape the OUTSIDE of the button to the outside of the bezel using a little scotch tape. This way the buttons do not fall out while you are trying to finagle the circuitry back in and you can remove the tape after assembly.
