Paint Problem

Just wondering if anyone else's paint is slowley coming off the silver bit round the screen of the phone. I havent miss-treated my phone at all and its only ever in my pocket which I clean before I put it in. Everyone I know who has a 7650 has the same problem.Does anyone think touch up paint will work. Im taking it to a NSC to update firmware but they say they can't do anything about wear and tear.haha. I think they used the same stuff thats on scratch cards. 😃

Had my current 7650 coming up on 4 or more months, no problems with the silver paint apart from a minor scratch from where I dropped it...

You can buy new covers from the NSC and get them installed. Shame it's soo difficult to get the covers off and paint them yourself :/

I know, All phones should have express-on covers, even series 60. How much do you reckon for a new shell?

After several months use, there's an ever so slightly tiny dark bit at the very top, next ot the on/off button, but compared to other phones I've had, no problem. The worst bit is the dust beneath the screen. How do you get rid of that? (only joking).

As Malebuffy says, you can find new covers quite cheap (eBay for example), but they are not clip-on by any means - you'll need to visit your friendly NSC
