Modding V300?

by pianoplayer88key Jan 10, 2006 9:59AM PST

I started by looking for a phone to replace my V300, which has way too little memory and a way too quiet speaker, but I decided I think it'd be cheaper to mod what I have, since it's not under warranty (and therefore I wouldn't have to worry about voiding the warranty.)

I would like to add more memory (at least 128MB internal (I estimate about $10-15 for the memory chip, based on ebay buy-it-now CompactFlash prices), and/or a memory expansion slot - CompactFlash, or standard size SD.)
I'd like the built-in speaker on the back to be at least 20-30dB louder (even if that means replacing the speaker itself).
I'd like to be able to copy files to and from the phone with Windows explorer - i.e. you plug in the phone and Windows recognizes it as a standard USB flash device.

Is there any way to do those mods with my V300?
