How To: Dismantle A BlackBerry Bold 9700
Posted in News & Rumors on 13 Nov 2009 20:06 by Bla1ze | 23 comments


As with any device launch, a tear down video has been posted for the BlackBerry Bold 9700. These videos are great for those who wish to modify or customize their devices with other OEM parts. Be it changing the bezel, swapping out to an unbranded bottom piece or whatever else your heart desires. While we're still waiting for many online retailers to bring in parts for the BlackBerry Bold 9700, that hasn't stopped a tear down from being done. Check it out as long as it's not too painful to watch and remember such ventures do void warrenties.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

This is like SAW: MMMMMMMMMDCC, if you know what I mean.

Also, what is that blue thing he uses? I'm thinking of switching out the bezel (something I've never done...will probably post for help in the forums) but I don't want to break anything.

Oh man... It said 'as long as it's not too painful to watch' and I cringed everytime a screw came out lol.

But, what about a re-assembly video? Haha

Play in backwards Gbeebe, or maybe reverse the order of things he did.

Remember, if 2+2=4, then surely 4-2=2

I tell no lies.

I saw that joke of a company logo on his computer. Apple is inferior to PC's in every way (except fashion and over pricing)...

watching the bazel removal part was painfull..

i thougth it was going snap..

i want the 9700 and to black it out like the 9000's but it seems like much more of a pain in the ass to take apart then the original bold.

By: darkasknight | Date: Sat, 11/14/2009 - 16:27

By: gbsn | Date: Sat, 11/14/2009 - 16:48
