lol cmon, no need to shoot down his idea.
maybe he's not eligible for upgrade and doesn't wanna pay the full price. If all he's looking for is the keyboard upgrade, why not let him try? Hell if it's an easy mod i would do it myself as well.

Im not trying to be mean, just being real. Ive been repairing and tweaking electronics like cell phones for awhile and "most" of the time, even between upgrades to the same device, if hardware profiles change at all they are usually not interchangable with each other.
Why? Dunno, Im guessing the manufacturers do this to keep people from doing just what he wants to do, and force them to replace their devices with the newer model.
Keep us updated on your progress.... Because I was wondering the same thing, because I really don't like how close the keys are together on the hardware keyboard.... I have big thumbs and always hit more than one key when I use it

I guess....I would rather have all the hardware upgrades of the D2 personally. I have the X now and could care less that the bootloader is locked, I can do everything I need to with it, any mods I want, overclocking, custom ROM and theming and the phone screams. There is nothing I could do with my old D1 that I cant do with the X.
I think people make a much bigger stink about the bootloader just because....
Do you think this would happen? Basically this would be my findings indefinitely if this happened, making me just put a Milestone keypad back in it's place.
Do you think this would happen? Please elaborate your statement.
He's talking about the D2.
Ah, all the benefits including....a locked bootloader

Ah. good.
Just to avoid any problems incurred with my personal ESN mobo, I will first attempt to put the keyboard into a D1 with a bad ESN, this should avoid all problems with losing my main phone. God knows I have enough of them from parts phones in that cell parts bin.
This picture shows what I thought would be the actual keyboard. I was under the impression the "keyboard" was just glued to the phone and a ribbon cable (from the ribbon harness) plugs into it. Are you saying the ribbon is permanently attached to the keyboard and the keyboard is more than just what is shown?
