Hi All,
I hv found out a native way to prevent the sliding problems and the marks caused by the same on the Keypad.

1) As per the instructions on Wiki dissemble your BA

2) Remove the screen, the Speaker and the Buttons(the top 4 extra buttons)

3)Now you have the slider fully exposed.If one looks carefully, then one can noitice tow white coloured plastic locks which are there to lock the slider.

4) Reomve the lock, now the key boad part and the other part on which it slides are seperated.Use a simple transparent insulating Tape and apply on the slider paths.

5) Re Assemble..and here's you have a BA which slides on the smooth inslutaing tape...there by having a nice grip and without creating any sliding marks on it.

I am using this and I am finding it most effective.

I hope, this will help...I rather wonder, howcome HTC forget this part while desigining!!!!!!

Thanks for the tip! And who says that they forgot anything? The ultimate goal for any manufacturer is to get people to buy another unit after a while. If you can use the same unit for several years, they don't make much money on you! :wink:
