i've heard a couple of people on here say that they opened up there phone and replace the existing 8gb drive, w/ a 16gb from a touch? is this possible? if it is, can anyone put a step by step process? reason is i just won a touch and i have no use for it!

Put it on eBay or give it as a gift.

Ho, Ho, Ho.

BTW, does "won" actually mean "stole"?

no no! i didn't steal it. Won an electronics grand prize at a wedding social. i might actually just give it as a gift. but i thought it would be cool to have a 16gb iphone. cuz my 8 got full real fas

From what I gather, it would involve soldering and a lot of work if its possible.
I didn't find a topic here that confirmed someone had swapped a 16GB chip from the logic board of the touch with the chip on the iPhone. Maybe I wasn't searching hard enough...

IMO, I doubt it's worth the effort and risk of damaging two devices doing such a mod.
