I'm curious to know if you can get it back together with all the seems as tight as when it was new. I want to get a new case off ebay but I want to know if there's problems with if fitting together again after it's been disassembled.

I was able to do it. It came out pretty good but I did slightly bend the metal edge of the new frame when I had to reopen it to align the reset button cover. But it's so slight, no one would ever be able to tell but me. All in all, it wasn't too bad, but it was just nerve racking having your $500 phone ripped apart and wondering if it will work when you put it back together - if you can get it back together. I was so relieved when I got the WM screen again!

A few pieces of advice:

For one, the instructions I read just said to disconnect the ribbon cables. Well it doesn't say that all you have to do is flip up the little plastic part to release the tension from the ribbon. (figured that out the hard way)

Also, make sure the rubber covers for items like the mic and reset button line up before you resecure the board to the frame. You DON't want to have to reopen it.

My phone will now stay covered with an excellent silicone cover made by Boxwave. The cut-outs are precision - you can get to everything. Also, it fits nice and tight like a glove. And it's just thick enought to protect, fit in the carrying case, and allow you to use all the buttons easily, especially the scroll wheel. (my last cover was too thick to use it with the cover on) I don't want to have to do this surgery an my phone any time in the near future so this is staying on my phone.

Yesterday I've change my M700 housing with P800. But as we know, they have different button map.

Now, I am trying to set up a hotkey for the Call button (Green button),
ie, when I press the call button, an application of my choice would
start running. For that I need to change the default settings in the
registry of the Pocket Pc. Could someone tell me where the default
settings of the call button is stored in the registry and what all
values should I change in the registry so that I can setup the call
button hotkey. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Why not just download hbutton and map as many programs as you like to the other available buttons? I've got like 12 prog mapped to 5 buttons.

Edit: Oops. I missed the point of your post. The buttons are mapped differently.
