How To Disassemble The BlackBerry Bold
By Kevin Michaluk | 20 Aug 2008 12:26 | 19 comments


The vast majority of us are still waiting to get our hands on the BlackBerry Bold, but that doesn't mean it's too soon to learn how to take your baby apart! The good folks at CNN.cn put together the BlackBerry Bold dissassembly video above. And we do mean disassembly. Right down to the wee bitty bits, and there's no putting it back together. Enjoy!!

The display has no housing, so no more dust between the front bezel and the display... =)

i agree with navi , i cant even get one, and they're tearing theirs apart! i wanna see the video of them putting it back together! i bet i could take a nuclear missle apart, but putting it back.....i'd probably have a lot of extra pieces!
