so, i picked up my 8130 back in May, and have been kinda been kicking myself for not getting the curve. I was looking around over at cnn.cn for the first time this morning and saw that they sell the cases/ keyoards/ lenses / etc for the curve and the pearl. What i'm wondering, would it be possible to shoehorn my pearl into a curve case? if the lcd and keyboard connectors are the same, i wouldn't think it'd be too hard. has anyone had both a pearl and curve opened up an know if these connectors are the same? and what about the battery? i am an electronics tech by trade, so ripping apart my phone doesnt scare me, i just dont want to wast money on the case if someone know any reason why i wouldnt work.
overall i'm quite happy with the pearl, i'm just wishing i had the keyboard, larger screen, and larger form factor..
