Guest chrisc28 Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Does anyone have any idea where I can get the complete housing/cover for the Mitac 8380? The paint starts to come off mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sabio_proeliat Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Yeah it really sucks, the painting, I mean. It's really bad. Would be great if there were som "mitac painting". :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Voldemort Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 did someone dismember it? if so... instructions? i can paint mine 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chrisc28 Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 You could dismember it, but although I'm very tempted to do it, I seriously won't do it. There is absolutely NO PARTS for the Mitac 8380. The dealer told me that Mitac does not keep stocks of any parts for the Mitac. Therefore, once it breaks down, that's it, you're dead.

Guest dragonpigz Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Mine had a little scratch and it's an eyesore... Im gonna try spray painting with some glossy silver paint... Hope it solves the prob... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Voldemort Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 strange thing, because mitac 8380 will be sold in the next weeks in italy (branded "telit g90" instead of its real name) and i don't think shops will sell a phone not repairable (sorry for my english :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chrisc28 Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 It's repairable, but the aesthetic parts are not replaceable, meaning it's close to impossible to obtain housing and such if you scratch it. I'm pretty sure the Mitac sold in Italy is the 8390 and not the 8380. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Voldemort Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 this is the link to the Telit G90... now tell me if it's an 8380 or an 8390... unfortunately here in italy everything is late (the phone should have been sold from november 2003 but no one even saw it!)

Great! Means there could be hope for us to purchase the housing/cover. Hopefully it's not only in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Voldemort Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 actually i'm waiting to swap my mitac 8380 to a motorola mpx220 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chrisc28 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Gonna swap to MPX200. The Mitac's reliability is so unpredictable. Since I'm going off to study, I need a proper reliable phone. Can't afford to have a phone that breaks down every other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chrisc28 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Just checked up with the dealer. I am able to order the housing for the Mitac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragonpigz Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 But how are u going to disassemble it? U have to do that to replace the housing anyway. How much is the housing? I wanna get one too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna get one too :) I will have to let the service centre do it. I'll try to ask if it's possible for you to purchase it separately. Though, I would discourage you from disassembling it. The Mitac is pretty fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
