Ever wonder what the inside of the Verizon/Sprint Touch Pro 2 looks like?  Want to see how to disassemble your $600 phone and void the warranty?  Then check out these posts

  • Santod, shows us the FCC internal shots of the Verizon Touch Pro 2, obviously taken in dirty garage (.pdf file)
  • JinxCA who goes one step further and strips his own Sprint Touch Pro 2 down, including directions & tools to do it yourself

As noted in my review, they are definitely using Broadcomm WiFi/BT chipset instead of Texas Instruments, which I found to be a great decision.  Other than that, these are pretty standard--tell us in comments if you see anything cool or uniqe!

  • Well, after seeing Santod's .pdf ... I'm left with pretty much have the same feeling as when I've seen any of those new, over-the-top horror movies. You know, anything by Eli Roth, Rob Zombie and the like? I basiclly wanted to turn away, but by picture #4, I just had to keep scrolling down! Uggghhhh!!! Now I feel kinda dirty all over.
  • It's nice to see that the hinges are actually made from metal.
  • care to enlighten us on the pros and cons of the broadcomm vs ti wifi/bt chips? i saw the link to ur previou post about the wifi idle battery sipping...but is there anything else which makes it better?
  • Range/Reception is also good. It doesn't get as hot as the TI version. It uses the Broadcom/Widcomm bt stack, which has more options that the MS version. It reconnects faster and I've had no issues with it.
