There is one useful thing in the article, how to change your touch screen if it got damaged and you didn't want to claim or return the phone.

Yeah I guess I didn't think about that, and I pray I don't ever have to worry about that.

yeah breaking down a phone can be tricky but its really not that difficult. However it is risky, and I sure as hell wouldn't breakdown a phone I couldn't return the next day and claim "I don't know what happen! It just stopped working!" LOL

I saw some release party footage where the rep said one antenna is in the hump and one at the bottom.

Seeing my future phone this way was very, very disturbing to me.

I've had to do this to a few phones, and I can tell you from experience that it is very useful to have a guide on how to disassemble a phone. My Vogue's screen cracked and I had to replace it, there was already a guide, so that was pretty easy. My Eris got a ton of dust under the screen and there was no guide anywhere, it took me a month or so to figure out how to do it. Most recently, my Incredible got some dust under the screen as well, but luckily I bought it direct from VZW, so I could just return it. Those were all HTC devices, so I'm really hoping that the X has a little better build quality(much like the Droid), so I don't ever have to attempt this.

I'm pretty sure it was put back together after that guys. Well... I think so. That's what I tell myself at least so I can sleep at night.
