I ordered a N900 housing from ebay and I have a few issues with it.

Power/Volume buttons.
The power and volume buttons do work, but the power button is not mounted properly and sticks out quite far on one side. This makes it quite easy to power off the phone when it is in in my pocket. Not a huge problem but a good enough reason for me to not use it.

LCD/Screen bezel mount.
This part does not include a magnet. I tried to use the original magnet but there is not enough room for the the LCD module during reassembly. Without this magnet you loose keyboard back lighting. I would recommend to not bother messing around with this part and assemble the phone with the original one.

Keyboard.
My keyboard had very poor tactile feedback. Often one keystroke would produce one or two extra keystrokes. The right side of they keyboard was worse than the left. After disassembling and reassembling the phone three times, I realised it was not an alignment issue but the keyboard itself. The delete key on mine did not work at all.

Antenna Mounts.
The included antenna mounts did not include electrical contacts for the antennas. This has been mentioned before. Throw them away they are useless.

Battery cover.
The battery cover is missing all three magnets. This was the biggest let down for me. Without the magnets the camera will not launch when the lens cover open. The phone also will always think the battery cover is off, disabling the micro SD card slot. To top it off the lens cover spring broke after less than a dozen uses.

I was smart enough to throw the antenna and speaker mounts in the garbage. The LCD/screen bezel mount, Keyboard, and battery cover was a bit disappointing. Hopefully my experience will help others.

I am going to return the keyboard, LCD mount, antenna mounts, and battery cover. The ebay seller has told me they are defective and will replace the parts. I am sure the replacement parts will not be any better.

Hello. I plan to buy a new housing for N900, but when I have opened the housing, I noticed that my N900 original case have a lot of metal contacts inside, which the new one does not. I know about battery cover, but it seems not so important to me, and probably could be fixed.

First of all, I have noticed, hat the non-original case does not have a metal contact where the reset switch is. Reset will not work?
And then, it has a lot of metal contacts around the perimeter, which seems to be antennas etc.

Is it possible to make it ALL work with new housing? Thank you.
