i say part one, cause in a rush to squeze some mp3's on my cf card this morning, i formatted it not thinking i still had images on it to copy to the system...doh.....so here is a pic and vid of the system in its re-assembled state....it simply does not show how much more improved the dpad is....its easily as good as any other pda out there that ive used, and im supprised why it wasent made this way from the start.

first, notice how the dpad is slighty higher than stock...ide say the mod raised it about 1 mm, though i could of easyly kept it at stock height or lower...but the slight raise makes it easier to use.

I try to show how solid and responsive it is here...just keep in mind how wobbly the stock dpad is when you try using it from the edge...

here is the 30 second video.... you'l need divx to play (encoded with 5.05)
