New two-tone APX7K OEM housings

Post by w2sjw »

Guys,

I know how much people fawned over the all-blue HT1250 Canadian derivative in the 'unusual radios' thread. I just saw these tonight (in blue, red, or orange):

The dealer says they are OEM - I'm really interested in getting a blue one (they are only $51 + S&H).

Opinions?

By all means buy them from Jeff (Escomm). If you buy them on eBay from what I've
seen you'll be paying 'way too much, like $20 to maybe $40 over what the dealers sell
them for direct.

I sent Jeff an e-mail about these today - just waiting for his response.

I really wish the admins would consider adding the Tapatalk plugin to this board - the site comes up really small on my Blackberry!

Come to the dark side of the iphone or android... I did..and phpbb stuff works out pretty well! As much as I loved the BB, I don't regret the switch.

Yeah, those are OEM cases and valid part numbers. Was thinking of picking one up myself

You mean your blackberry is actually working now? I left RIM after the same thing happened two years ago.

By the way, they also come in green and yellow.

Not to split hairs, but to pick nits: The factory APX7000 housing is two-tone gray & black... Look under bright light.
