k790a to k810a yes it's possible......
Alright, with the lack of new phones for me to play with i had developed the urge to do another mod... i did my k790a poopoo brown from a k800i a while back and decided to try to convert the k810 to a k790a housing to create a k810a...

i wasn't sure if this was going to work... conceptually it should... but when i cracked open both housings there were quite a few signifigant changes...mostly triming of the plastic frame inside of the phone... the lcd plastic is thinner, the internal casing has little pieces chopped off here and there to help slim it down.... i had to strip the phone to it's bare bones to get the housing swap to work... was going to take pics but got too worked up in the process...anyway... covered up the camera hole with some plastic put it all together and below are some pics... everything works as it should enjoy....next up... time to find an ivory k810i...

I wanted to do mod too, but I'd buy k800 and k810 housing, compare the different first, then do mod

I have been wanting to do this but can't find the housing anywhere.

hmm - ive completely changed my k790i housing before - so im comfortable with taking it all apart and putting it back together again - did it only involve trimming a few pieces and then covering up the camera hole? id definitely be interested in doing this

of course, id need to find a full k810 housing somewhere...

Anything significant (wiring/electrical) aside from trimming plastic?
