Seeing as I opened up my BLU as soon as I got it, I thought I'd share a little info on it's internals.
My BLU's speakers are different to the ones that were in my FLU, looks like they *may* have a bigger driver on the back. They seem to sound better to me, although it's hard to tell.
The BLU's LCD screen part number is LTP350QV-E07-00R I think, at least that's whats on the back of the screen. [EDIT] this turns up nothing in google, but there is a similar part no. on the screen LTS350Q2-PE2 (seems to be used in H22xx IPAQ's), which turns up results:

The LCD driver chip is different to the one in my FLU, it is made by XILINX, couldn't be bothered to take down the model number of the chip.
The CPU is covered by a foam backed pad, preumably to protect it from the BLU screen and vice-versa.
The BLU connector is different (as mentioned on GBAX - Longest Day), although I think it might come off. Seems to have 2 small groves that a small screwdriver would fit under, and hopefully lift the connector out of what seems to be a slot (Will try this later). It if wont disconnect, then there is virtually no way to upgrade BLU's to 32/64mb, unless you know Johnny 5
The memory chip is made by Samsung (FLU was Hynix), also mentioned on GBAX - Longest Day, http://www.gbax.com/new/longestday.html
A number of smaller (16-leg) chips are no longer made the the same manufacturer as they were in the FLU.
The USB port uses a different connector. Your old GP32 USB cable won't fit anymore.
I thought the BLU screen looked a lot darker than my FLU, when both had the light turned off, but then again, I havnt seem my FLU in action for ages, so maybe I am wrong.
My BLU overclocks to 400Mhz, battery life is ~14hrs at this speed, my FLU could only reach 166Mhz. If you hold down "select" for 5 seconds, it grows wings and turns into a jet as well.
