now in most cases you may get a lil stiff keypad but that depends. if you replace a c housing with a g you will get a lil bit of a stiff keypad, in most cases very usable and very rarley its too stiff.

i kno this because i worked at rim and remember if someone puts on a wrong overlay on a certain keypad shape the keys will become stiff.

now if you can get an overlay then you are truly set because it is the only difference. however i replaced 8700c with 8707v and no problems at all.

just so you guys know if you get stiff keypads this is the reason.
