Just curious, there is one for sale on ebay.
No.
yeah... NO theres only the X50 in blue theoretically it IS possible by swapping in an X50 Blue display board onto an 8500 base, but its VERY unlikely
how hard would it be to change the display out of a 8500 and replace it with a x50 blue one?
Probably not hard if you're good with a soldering iron. I wonder if you could put a blue X50 display into an RX65 and really have something unique. Problem there is you can't get a blue RX65 lens.Quote:

a blue rx65 would be totally bad @ssQuote:

As for swapping displays, if anyone does this they should be sure to use low heat with their soldering iron, word has it that these displays are heat-sensitive....
^^^ did i not just say that, id say using an alligaor clip as a heatsink would be easier, but it can only do so much, so maybe both would do good
