> T610 updated with T630 software?
Bookmark topic
I just did something similar to this...
You can buy an upgrade kit off eBay that will upgrade just the housing and keypad. (The T630 uses a different key layout - that is why you need a new keypad.) You can also upgrade the screen to the T630 screen, but this requires a firmware upgrade to install the drivers for the new screen.
All I upgraded (well, I haven't received it in the mail yet) was the housing, so it would LOOK like a T630. But you can also upgrade the screen and the software, making it a REAL T630 for all intents and purposes. Flashing the firmware voids the warranty though.
Here are some links:

EDIT: If you upgrade the software, you MUST upgrade the screen. As I mentioned before, the software has the hardware drivers, so if you replace the drivers for the T610 screen with the new drivers for the T630, the T610 screen won't work anymore.

So, I have to change screen, keyboard layout and fw just to have My friends menu?, or there are other interesting functions on T630 that makes the upgrade reasonable?...

To buy a t630 is the best solution instead of taking a t610 in apart and play with it as a lego game. The risk isnt worth.

as far as i can see, the only reason you would want to upgrade is for teh new screen.. which is much better than the t610.
and boba, it is much cheaper to buy an upgrade kit than a new phone...

so, the main reason is to upgrade the screen, but I'll have to install T630 software and keyboard layout to make the screen work, so my T610 will be a T630 on a T610 case....

@mixin u might be right, but isnt it risky to take a fone in aparts, then put together etc u are an expert in it, but what about the others? I wrong move and the fone is dead. Is it worth?

you only need a new kaypad/keyboard PCB if you are gonna put a T630 case on.
You can easily get away with changing the LCD, upgrading the software and keeping the T610 case/keypad
boba > phones arent actually that complex inside, you'd have to be a complete wally to break it

I was just wondering if it was easy to complete, I don't like T630 look, so maybe, if possible, I would upgrade only screen and FW and have a T630 inside my T610 case, anyway I'll wait for my new K700i and then make the franky with my T610....
