I'm waiting for the big brown truck as I type. It holds my new 9700. I can't wait to get it! I have an 8900 that I dearly love, but 3G makes a big difference over wi-fi and Edge.
Anyway, out of the gate, there's only one thing I don't like about the 9700, the black plastic chin under the space bar. I guess I'm just used to my 8900's faux metal chin, but the 9700's also contains the T-Mobile branding, UGH! Has anyone found a replacement piece for this area, and if so, where? Also, does anyone have instructions on replacing that piece? If so, a response would be appreciated.

Check CNN.CN. The link I provided takes you to a replacement piece that is marked for Turkcell, but they will likely have others (including an unbranded piece) shortly.

You can also check with Horizon Wireless.

Additionally, CNN.CN will likely have disassembly videos soon.
