**hint hint*** if anyone who has a 3GS and a 3G wants to do some experimenting!!!!!!!

I was kinda wondering that too... is there a notable size difference between the housing and overall size of the 3gs and the 3g?

and as to the question about ram, it seems highly unlikely but i'm no expert..

These guys are pro. You didn't think they'd just disassemble the phone then throw the parts away did you? They took it apart, they can put it back together perfectly. For this is not humpty dumpty.

They are the repairing shop, so they need to do it for their own learning.

oo, so now can we tell if it has the same battery? it looks so much like the old one

as for all of you who want to know if you can switch the parts, id say no just becuase you would have to customize your firmware and pull bits of it from the new firmware and replace it with those in the 3g firmware and hope that would work, they could also have locks on the mainboard to work only with certain parts(just like the bios hp puts on laptops> ) and as far as the housing goes, i thought it was exactly the same, there arent any size differences

Im glad some one did this now I don't have to!

Upgrading parts like that is not entirely unheard of... They did that with the eeepcs . As long as dimensions are the same as well as pin compatibility, then i cant see why it wouldnt work...

Those sick bastards!

I've only had to change out the digitizer myself on the 3G and it wasnt as bad as it looked . Just have to take your time . I would like to change out the battery in my 3g , but haven't looked into it yet . After reading some comments in here I am assuming it is harder to do then on the new 3GS version .
