Where can I buy an authentic white housing with USB door and SIM tray? Thanks for any suggestions!

You just had to read one page back! http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=449

I read that, yet I usually assume everything from China is fake. . . I hope I didn't insult anyone.

sharing my white nokia N9 and modified keyboard

I got my white housing off email and yet to fit (from freetrader21 i think). The other day I bought a lumia 800 in white as a X-Mas present so couldnt resist doing a comparision between the two housings!

The Lumia's appears whiter the housing i have is shade closer to grey! Do people still think these ebay ones were fake? As as I have said before they are almost too good to be fake but there is a colour difference! is this just variation?

Has anyone else ever compared a handful of N9s back to back to look at the colour and if they vary at all?

I noticed this a while ago but never posted about it. My white N9 looks duller than my friends Lumia 900 and 920. Yet the white N9 still looks whiter than the iPhones or Samsung galaxy s2/3.

Ooohh, nice! Tell me how...

thats good to know! wonder why its slightly different! the the housing i have is probably real!

thanks for the reply and info

No problem. I thought the same thing when my friend got a white lumia and as I looked at the backs of both mine looked slightly yellow while his looked completely white. Doesn't bother me that much though. I forget but there was a thread about the production quality of Lumia vs n9 showing that lumias were better. Like the curved glass of the 800 was better than the one on the N9.

That's not right.....
The L800 was largely contracted out, it's well known that the N9 was far more "in house" than the L800*, that slowly changed with the 900, & is probably very different for the 920 now.
You have variations in housing quality (which includes colouring/coating among other things), some white housings will look better than others, it's the nature of mass production.
It MAY be possible that "whiter" housings & better glass fronts are being reserved for the L800's etc, but generally production doesn't work like that, too inefficient...
More likely is that because we've had much greater no's of them being produced for much longer now, the probability of having better quality builds** in circulation has become higher.
That's assuming there really is a difference, it's all way too anecdotal thus far, you'd need to compare a large pool before you could come to any sort of rational conclusion.

*This was done because Nokia didn't have the capacity for Qualcomm related tech at the time, so in order to get to market quicker, most of the work was contracted out.
Because of the specialised (stop-gap) design of the L800, that will remain the same for the full term of it's manufacturing life...
**at least in SOME aspects....
