I'm looking to buy blackberry parts such as bezels, trackpad, trackball and other accessories. Do you have any suggestions where should I buy?

Concern: quality, price and trust worthy of the company or site.

ebay is the cheapest for sure..
i got a bb 9000 housing (keypad, bezel, lens, trackball, and everything for 10$)

if you want quality then go to http://www.sw-box.com/
they are pretty cheap too

Just sent my order for housings, trackballs, and screen protectors to sw-box.

Ordered from them in the past 2 years and no problems at all. They're the best quality for the cheapest price in my opinion. The bezels at sw-box are pre-attached meaning you don't have to solder/glue on the top piece and bezel for a 9700.

Also check out sw-box's reviews from past buyers if you're still concerned about them:

I've also ordered from eBay in the past and let me tell you:

STAY THE FUCK AND FAR FAR AWAY FROM EBAY

They're quality is absolute shit. Trust me.

If you still need help on deciding check out this thread:

I've had the best experience with sw-box but depends on the items and if you don't mind waiting a month for shipping. There is a store in east van called bestbuy99. They're cheap but quality isn't great for bezels and housings (depends on which blackberry).

crystal mall ftw

Have fun paying twice the price at crystal mall :thumbsup:

If you don't mind waiting at least 3 weeks for the parts, go with sw-box.

iirc if you stick some scotch tape on your battery so that it pushes up on the battery cover it won't be as loose. Worked for my tour

i put a half ripped business card in there between the cover and the battery. that seems to do the trick too.

another +1 for sw-box, i haven't bought anything from cnn.cn because my phone isn't that popular, 9630 Tour.

i find the stuff for the 9700 and the 9000 are pretty decent, parts for my phone suck.
