Build your own Palm Pre for $170

Famed tech disassembler and repair site, RapidRepair, has just released their Palm Pre Repair Guide for your viewing pleasure.  In just 10 simple steps with the help of a small Phillips screw driver, small flathead, pliers, solder iron, exacto razor & safe open tool you will be on your way to dismantling your beloved Palm Pre in no time.  The real gem in this dismantling procedure is that RapidRepair was able to put a price tag on the guts of the Palm Pre by estimating that the components are worth about $170.  This is quite a bit higher than the previous estimate from iSuppli of $138, but it just goes to show how a quality disassemble can benefit an accurate price estimation.[Via RapidRepair]
