Black 4050, yay.

[Invader J]

Picked up a black faceplate kit from DayDeal.com for my 4050. FWIW, if you're looking into trying this make SURE you get a Torx-6 driver with a center hole! This is important! For some reason Toshiba used a T-6 screw with a center pin to secure the casing instead of a standard philips or a standard torx. Bummer, had to look all over the city for a driver like that. Then I had to carefully shave down certain parts of the replacement faceplate so it would fit. Oy. In the end though it looks pretty darn good - we need more colored phones in the US man.

The battery case is black too. Unfortunately I totally forgot to put the clear camera lens cover in, so I'ma have to open 'er back up!

Thats hot... awsome job!

Great step up from the fugly green color.. They should make a version like the blue's avatar.. the ablue would be awsome.

[pixelpusher]

yeah, thats intentional, its called a security bit...we use them on lots of things that we dont want anyone else opening up... ;-)

Holy crap, that looks awesome! I'd probably paint the hinge part silver, but still, awesome!

[poopsieflys]

That does look cool! How much was the face plate?

[newone757]

thats looks really good. Would be even better if whole phone was black tho.That would be real hot!!!!

I like it.....the two-tone isn't bad at all....and total black would be very nice!

[bluecoyote]

Actually, I think the two-tone is far cooler than solid black.

I'm a fan of black... I do like the two-tone, it looks very much like it comes straight from Toshiba like that. The faceplates are $12.99 each and come with the battery cover.

I'm betting a white one wouldn't look half bad either, but the 7400 faceplate I got from them that was supposed to be white was more of an off-****e and had a blue prismatic coating on it - cool, but now what I wanted. The black on the other hand had the same texture as the rest of the casing.

Just make SURE to get the right security bit for the screw (Torx-6 with center pin), or make sure you're really really good with very small tools. Using a super tiny tiny flathead (not sure of the size) I was able to delicately undo one screw, but I did not want to run the risk of stripping any of them so I sucked it up and went hunting for the proper bit. But it can be done - the screws are surprisingly (pleasantly) strong.
