Disabling the camera V300 or other options.
My wife has a Moterola V300. She has a current work assignment where they do not allow camera phones on site which the 300 has. Is there any way of permanently disabling (removal of lens) without damaging the rest of the camera?
The contract is up in a few months so the phone will be replaced with a newer phone later in the year once her assignment is up.
Does T-mobile sell refurbished phones that can be activated and then swithced back at the end of her assignment without having to damage her current phone?
How about purchasing a phone on ebay or something? Are there any concerns that they will not activate the phone on the line (heard about phones not being activated due to GPS or 911 issues).
I appreciate any comments/sugg...

Phones on Ebay will be your best option. I've never heard of any store or repair center permanently removing a camera from a phone...and something on Ebay would probably be cheaper anyways...just make sure the seller doesnt have a lot of negative feedback. I've seen people come in with busted Ebay phones before.
You dont really even need to contact T-Mobile when you get your phone, just swap her sim card into the new phone and it should work fine.
As for GPS or e911, all T-Mobile phones (any GSM for that matter) use triangulation and dont need anything special for the phone to be located. You dont need to worry about a phone being too old for it to be activated...just make sure its UNLOCKED, OR Branded with a T-mobile logo.

Thanks for the help. I think I'll try to get a cheap one on ebay. I saw a Nokia 6010 unlocked for a cheap price so that looks like my best option. Thanks again!
