Pro and cons of buying the assembled kit vs building the unit myself? Is there enough upgrades you can do it’s better to buy the shell and board and putting it 2gether? Can you find the parts that dont come with buying the shell and board. I’m asking because there is enough people that should know now if they made a mistake either way… Thanks for the info and I cant wait to get mine 2gether…

Building it is really fast and also fun, so I don’t see why you shouldn’t do it. There will also be times where you have to e.g. have to take the SD card out, so it’s good to already know where everything is.

No you would be missing the screen, battery and keypad modules…
