Has anyone tried this on a cingular 8525? or any of the Hermes models?

Thanks,
Jake

I searched around for a thread too, hard to figure out a common parameter for searches.

I just wanted to make sure there were no scratches when doing this.

Thanks,
Jake

just saw an article in Pop Sci about using a (dry) sugar cube to remove the branding without scratching. DRY. Apparently, if it's wet, it scratches. The original instructs are here:

Caveat: I have NOT tried this, but it looks good as long as you're a little patient.

I take it you mean this one:p :p

By the way I see the newest release of sugarcubes logo removal v1.4 is out of beta and now has a surprising list of freebies
1. A lifetiime subscription to the East India Tea Company
2. a 100 pack of those dinky little Milk cartons
3. A maid called Fifi who gives a hand polish to your Tytn
4 A "design your own logo" stencil

There are still a few complaints though, that research is showing screen deterioration due to sugar acid build up. This can lead to cavities developing. XDA-Developers official Wiki guidance is to take your Hermes for a 6 monthly check up and have any cavities seen to immediately before serious decay occurs.

Oh and by the way why not try the Advanced Search functions - you know, just for a laugh. Later today I'm going to have fun merging this thread and the 4 others on the subject.
