gather ud have to dismantle ur w800 and replace the keypad since the buttons are different. I did this with a t610 to t630 conversion and it worked like a charm. ALso had to change the screen!

Hey docmagoo2 you seem to be out of synch with the question. The question relates to software flashing, not changing the phone casings !

the hardware and software both need to be changed. as far as i know this is too hard to do as they are very different.

But is it not possible to do it with out any hardware changes?

Assuming that you dont mind not having maybe the front walkman button not working. Instead you'd have Flash menus, RSS, Netfront and maybe USB mass storage?

Anyone tried it? Or gonna try it?

Some of the press pics for the w700, the one where the w700 is next to the w800 has w810 logos on the menu.

Even if the button layout is different, wouldnt it be still be sending a button press signal to the phones software?

nah what i was trying to say, even if u could flash the w810 software onto the w800 you'd need to change hardware too. Given that there are other subtle differences such as memory size. Im uncertain whether this would work! My earlier post just meant that hardware was interchangable between t620 and t630 as the basic main board was the same!
