Oh, and it's a heavy brick, too.
Yes it is thicker than touch-only device but definitely not a brick either, it's not much thicker than touch-only. If you consider a brick, N900 is much thicker but still very comfortable.
I agree with the poor calling signal, that's one of the main disadvantages of N950.

Correct answer is, it depends
Of course the parts will not fit just like that, as the physical layout of the devices are different. Also some components are different, for example the display unit. (one's OLED, other's LCD)
On the other hand, there's nothing that's impossible. But the required skill level really is such that you'd be able to build the device from scratch if you had that.
And you would not be asking these questions here, you would already have done it.

What's the use of a phone with a hw keyboard that is so terrible to use that you won't bother opening it at all and just use the sw keyboard?
Also, when making phone calls with the N950, don't touch the damn thing or the call may drop, if you're not in an area with good reception.
Oh, and it's a heavy brick, too. I'd go for the N9 instead.

IMHO the N950 is one special case where the software keyboard really beats the hardware keyboard for typing texts. I'm not kidding.
