Just curious, but I'd like to know if any who have done hardware mods to their n800 have tried making the screen flush with the rest of the bevel and if there were any positives or negatives im trying it? Thanks in advance.

Off the top of my head: Your flush screen will most certainly go crack! if you drop the tablet.

That was a negative; I can't come up with a "positive" other than: "Look boys! my tablet looks soo much more like an iPhone!"

I don't tend to drop mine, so durability is something that I'd tend not to see. Positives such as easier clicking of items at the edge of the screen with/without the stylus, and an overall thinner profile are simple enough. I am looking for just a bit more though

Check out the disassembly video by Thoughtfix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3BorZkQ2Vo), to me it looks like it would be difficult to bring the screen flush with the front, because the screen is wider at its base than the opening in the front. In any case, by watching the video you'll either get an idea about how to do it or figure it's too much trouble..
