I am interested, not for my current N800 but for a new one, I already sell the N800 and I need now a new N810, just asking:
0. I don't care about warranty and shipment to FL.
1. If I send you (priorly) the money could you buy the N810 and do the SDHC mod without modifying the form factor?
2. I need a 3G modem to solve my connectivity problems, could you put one inside (as the EeePC 3G mod) without modifying the form factor?
For the curious I will use this modded N810 as my primary phone (that's why form factor is important to me), I already have SIP accounts and asterisk linked to my home asterisk in my current N800, I just need to solve the always connected problem and external modems sucks badly
Wimax is not ready in my area (well it is but in the 2.5GHz band and the N810 Wimax is 3.5GHz so that's why I can't buy the Wimax edition )
Wrong; the N810W is 2.5 GHz, though depending on coverage and pricing, you might still want the 3g mod.
For those who are confused, i'm pretty sure he's meaning to create one of those adapters like they have created for the PSP:
one end goes into the card slot, and it leads to a larger card slot (but without any chips or components inbetween, just pin-to-pin connections). He plans to fit it under a new backplate using FFC.
If you remove the battery cover you'll see 4 test point pads which are probably used for manufacturing test. These pads connect to the USB and provide a place to connect to and create a totally removable built in card reader.

i want a few
This is very similar to what I am making but it would not be as basic as this. This type of cable is not suitable for what I need. Normal FFC cable would not work. The cables are custom made and the cover is made like the original N810 door.
I am getting the parts late this week with the cover early next week. Once it is tested and I receive a sample of the cover and it meet my quality expectations I will post it so all can see. I am not hiding what I am doing it is very apparent if you read all the posting. When I show the unit I want everyone to understand what is going on. This is why I have not posted any photos of the prototype unit. I just wanted to show that it works. I also have to do this in my spare time but it will be completed soon and I have many people waiting for it.
I am also working on a version for the N770 but I do not think many people will want it, I am doing it because it is simple to do and I am converting 2 Nokia 770 for playing nusic in my car.

These are not the points that I am using for the upgrade adapter. There are many reasons not to use this.
1. It will draw additional current from the N810 battery, changing the run time of the tablet.
2. When you run media playing programs they would not see the files stored on this type of card.
3. The card reader would have to be custom made and it would cost too much.
4 these connections require a custom made connector and this would be expensive to make.
5. This connector should be left for more exciting upgrades.
