It works you just need the new part number which is PTH08000WAH or PTH08000WAZ. :) I just had both delivered today :)

im in the process of doing that, but...
1) wat's the "country phone #" for the US?
2) i assume i should tell the truth on that stuff, like the e-mail adress and the phone number right?

EDIT: so do i still need to do this stuff even with the new product #?

You don'tneed the county code ignore it. And your phone # doesn't have to be real, they won't call you. Butthe email sould be real, they send you a tracking #.

various voltage converters are the only thing they really sell that you would find useful. they have some battery management chips with displays and stuff, but you have to design your own board for all of them and they are really teeny tiny.
