Just wondering what you guys think of this? It says its third party but how close is the quality to OEM? Is it safe to buy?

I bought one of these off Ebay a few weeks back and the white face plate is garbage. First of all, the way these face plates work is that once you put it into the phone, you can't really replace the faceplate again without breaking the one you installed. Also the lettering that says "Nokia n73" is crooked and not aligned properly with the faceplate so it looks very cheap. Also, when these faceplates are shipped, they have a protective sticker on the front, but the back part of the display glass is already scratched up. By the time you intall your phone, it does not look good. Just order the part off CNN.cn. Oem is the way to go with these parts.
 
As I said in the other thread for this http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107035

Well its non oem so it wont last as long also the keypad looks like its broken or something around the 8 and 0 numbers lol

I must say though, even though the housing isn't OEM, it looks pretty nice in snow white. Nokia should make a pure white edition of this phone.
 
Well that sure set me straight. Looks like a giant "no" for me. Thanks for the input guys. I guess i'll just go for the black housing off cnn.cn
 
Thanks for the heads up angel!

Also saw this guys auction:

He claims they're OEM and something tells me they are. He only sells actual N73 colours by Nokia (ie. not white). What do you guys think?
 
No prob~

looks good, but he doesnt include the keypad so u need to buy it on the side. I hate all those sellers that do it to squeeze more money out of us.
