    They are... But it's complicated to get to. They have removal kits, but then you're replacing the battery with a non OEM battery, and who knows what kind of can of worms you're opening there?

    It is a pain in the ass to get to. The screen is a replaceable item also but sucks to do

    Wiring back up cameras isn't that bad. If you scan your wiring diagram, I can walk you through it. I wired in a set of back up sensors into my truck, same idea, just no display on the head unit. It's similar to wiring your lights, the reverse lights will act as a trigger for the relay but they'll pull power from the battery and then there will be a wire for the input on your stereo.

    She might like the HTC One. It's all aluminum, large screen, but not crazy. Also comes in different colors depending on the carrier:
    Silver (all carriers)
    Blue (Best Buy exclusive for all carriers)
    Black (AT&T exclusive)
    Red (Sprint exclusive).

    I have it, and it's a great phone.

    With the toolkit and battery from Ifixit.com it is not to bad. Small parts. $30 total cost to change.
    I agree but both batteries I got from Ifixit.com have done well.
    Screen is not worth replacing if you have insurance. After your upgrade is available just get a new phone. It is a pain. Same with the Stuck power button.

    Ppl are say great things about this phone! I have a friend with this phone. It is very nice. Finally an HTC that is not plastic.

    I want to do this with this kit.

    Hoping it will be easy with the OEM toyota 2013 touchscreen already in my 07.

    We have the HTC design, it has a metal case but the processor is slow.

    Heading up to Acadia. If the Army can't pay me I might as well be on leave enjoying myself.

    12th is bad for burger as we have to leave the house just after noon (you could swing by and grab it), 13th is bad, 14th is good but I assume you're going to work?

    I'd be glad to swing by. I have to go up to freedom to close the cottage for the winter. Time is of the essence

    David, that sure is a nice campus. They started us at the admin building that was right on the water and looked like one of the mansions. It looks like they have done a ton of work to the freshmen dorms

    Make sure the freshmen dorms are air conditioned. Sarah's dorms weren't air conditioned and it sucked on the 3rd floor, never mind the 7th! It was like being locked in a metal hot shack in prison during the start of the semester.

    It's like hell

    Nice. Sounds like you started at Ochre Court then they took you to Miley. Did you go to Walgreens hall, Reefe hall, and the O'Hare Academic center? Maybe Antone as well? The Starbucks area is all completely renovated. I ended up having to go up to Warwick so I was not around as I thought I would be. We have a Warwick adult education campus as well.

    Alex
    Most are not. The new part Walgreens Hall is. School/dorms is not in session during the summer so that is not usually an issue. Here on the island, It is normally about 10 degrees warmer in winter and 10 cooler in the summer then the rest of RI and more then MA.

    Yup we started at Ochre and then we walked down to Reefe for a 11am tour. We had to be at Antone for 11:30 for the education briefing. We then took a trolley tour then ended the day at Walgreens
