I'm not really feeling the SP5m housing. I don't use the buttons provided and they always seem to be getting in the way. I'm thinking about replacing the housing. Anyone know if I can buy a SP5 housing, and not lose any functionality or dead buttons?

I don't think the SP5 housing suits d SP5m.
1st, there's extra music keys on SP5m.
2nd, the joystick is placed lower in the SP5m.

The SP5m keys are too much smaller than the SP5.
I have both a T-mobile SDA(SP5m) and a SP5.
Trust me, you would have to do some serious professional modding of the casing to get it to work.

I prefer the SP5m IMO, even tho the SP5 looks better.

What I have noticed on an ebay auction that the case comes with the keypad already. So all I gotta do is hook it up on the PCB. Would the keyboard cable from the SP5 fit? I don't know. Also, are the buttons going to do random things such as when pressing a menu key for IE to pop up, again I don't know. Check this pic out to understand better.

Do you think that the keyboard cable plug from the case in the SP5 will fit in the SP5m?
