I'm using it for more than a year now. yeah! the keypad cracks but mine (the keypad) is still functioning well. I even dropped it on the floor a few times. Its durable!!.. hahahaha. kidding. but seriously, i really dropped it accidentally but its still good. I am still enjoying the features. The video is nice. Almost all formats of video/music can work in this mobile phone. And oh, the mouthpiece is not working now. I have to plug my headset every time i receive calls. so far, thats the only problem i have with my mobile phone.

    umm.. im thinking of gettin this phone for my birthday but after hearing all this stuff about the keypad cracking, i'm sorta havin second thoughts. i really wanna know if the "keypad cracking" thing is true cos i really like this phone and i still wanna get but i don't want the keypads to crack.
    anyway, if the keypads do break, can u plz tell me if it breaks like after a year or two months??? thnks

                  when i give vibration to my cell then suddenly any of my sound doesn't work. then it says "cannot play the file". After using it for 4 months my USB port is almost out of work and i face problem while charging my phone due to its port...

                                  Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Hi Nick,

                                  Thanks for the info but i'm really surprised about the FM bcoz even on this site it does not say FM in the specifications.

                                  Anyway, i'm buying a W760 today as i'm very excited about the GPS function and it definately has radio :-) Will use it and post review.

                                  Thanks.
