to me it was
the back 830 housings had alot of things holding it down, the lil things were like the lil plastic thing holding down the i9x speakers down and there was alot of them and next to ribbons. the CID was very hard to get out. they put everything so close to each other

If you take ur time I think the 830 is easier than the 730. The only pain was the holding down stuff on the back case. The hing was the easiest of any IDEN phone. The buttons gave me a problem.

theres no way that phone is easier then any other phone
that was the hardest

[Jimbo]

i really didnt think it was that hard, the hardest part is not bending the front panel when you take it off and that was cake, just heat it up really good

[NC i730]

I did the actual housing change fine, but then i got no service and realize i left a piece out. When i went to put it back in i broke the ptt ribbon. Needless to say i sent it back to seller who had nsp on it and im getting a new one soon :). Hell, i dont recomend doing it, it was no fun at all.

[deadbodies]

[Rikdaruler1]

i canged my front panel and battery plate its not hard at all but word of advice when changeing the front plate save the little mesh that covers ur speaker heat it up and use it on ur new one most dont come with it and it protects ur speaker from deribis

If you have never done it before and dont want to possibly damage your phone please send it to someone has done it before and watch them do it.
