They do ship to the UK...I received mine this morning.... took an hour of very careful transfering of all the inside components to the new case....

It cost $62.75 including shipping....

I ordered mine on 30th April....and as I said...arrived this morning....

Hello my friend....

Sorry I do not have any instructions.... I did it my self step by step...

It can be done using the small screw driver you get with your P900....

First take off your key pad....
Then the rubber stops at the back of your phone near camera lens....remove them and unscrew the screws that they hides.....
Remove battery cover and battery....
In battery compartment....there are two screws at the lower end...remove these....they are same length as the screws under the rubber stops....

Then you need something like a credit card...to slide between the top casing and the lower casing....and carefully....run it around...this will unclip it....
You will see wires dangling....these are for screen....you can unplug that....and underneath the screen is a metal shroud....that acts like a heat sink i think.....but you can unscrew that.....


Then I recommend....removing each piece one at a time...and fit it into the same postion of your new case.... Everything should just clip out quite easily....and clip back into the new case just as easy.....do not be tempted to remove everything....one at a time...
One thing worth noting...when you remove the speaker and microphone....do not forget about the foam shroud underneath them....as they were not with my new case......

Slowly and surely....and you will do it....I did find pluging the screen back when i had added the metal shroud and fitting the top cover to screen a little fiddly....but you can do it....hope this helps...
