Make your own Nokia E50 Metal Black

It’s not easy to get a Metal Black E50. Lots of people write in and ask where to buy one. Unfortunately there are only a few on-line stores which offer it, most of them located in Europe. It looks like the metal black is not meant for the U.S. market at all.
If you can’t live without the metal black beauty there is a relatively simple way to make one. You’ll need one Nokia E50, front and back cover, a keypad and a tiny bit of patience. Doug has sent me a few photos of his custom made Nokia E50 Metal Black. It’s a work in progress, he is waiting for a new black keypad to arrive but so far it looks good. Check it out:
The only missing part (except of the keypad which is on its way) is the bottom silver piece. It doesn’t come with the cover so you’ll have to use the old one. If anyone knows where to get the black bottom please let us know.
Where to get the parts?
You can buy these parts on the internet. Here are a few useful links (thanks Doug):
- metal black front cover EUR 23,99
- battery cover EUR 19,99
- black keypad EUR 15,95
