[Q] VS985 screen and Digitiser on a D855??

[singhsinghy]

Guys! I have become a member of the smashed screen club and I am totally heart broken as my phone screen is totally unresponsive after the horrible attack from gravity. No I did have insurance cover on my phone which I totally regret now and I'm currently back on Nexus 4 . After shopping around on the net I've come to see that replacing the screen and digitiser isn't too hefty a task and I've decided to repair my phone myself. I'm after some advice with regards to parts. I was never a huge fan of the grey bottom edge of my D855 G3 and always wished it was totally black but didn't want to go down the skin/sticker route. I came across a black one from the VS985 model which is a Verizon variant. OK yes is says Verizon in the top corner but its totally black! I wanted to know whether I'd have any issues fitting the VS985 black screen to my D855 device or will I run in to issues? I've yet to see someone who has done this replacement and I'm not sure whether the parts are all standardised for all phones or not. Also what do you guys think? Should I go to black or keep it original and grey?

cheers guys

I only bring it up because I have a vs985 and I HATE that verizon tag...and you may grow to hate it too *If/when I break my display I'm looking for something like I linked...& $80 isn't that bad a price.

Oh nice. Hopefully that is a full black one without the carrier logo rather than a badly photoshopped picture. Will check this out. I wonder if I'll get raped with customs charges as I'm in the UK?
