Well, that pretty much concluded it. One of my three N900s now boasts a cool white housing. I currently use it as my primary phone. With all the above fixes, it works just like the original.

With one small niggle still outstanding. Pictures made with the flash appear a bit hazy, like in this thread. I am sure it has something to do with the flash light coming to the lens through the white plastic. The last picture in the first post shows quite clearly how translucent the plastic is. I cannot see a quick and easy fix for that other than replacing the entire camera cover assembly. From the third picture in the second post, it looks like that should be doable, although a closer look shows that it is not straightforward.

In conclusion, would I have done it again had I known beforehand what I had to go through? Probably not. The tipping point are the hazy pictures taken with the flash. But, who knows, maybe I'll manage to fix that too and when I do, the result would definitely be worth it!

Either way, I would hava been much happier had I known all of this beforehand.
