... I do have the s500i and yes... my keypads are cracked already. is there any way that I can change the keypad? .. the phone functions well though... and I'm pretty much contented with the features, specially the display.

I work in a place that sell this phone. And I don't recomend anyone to buy it. If say we have sold 100 S500, 95 phones come back whit problems. And it's not just the probem whit the keypad, the phone just doesn't function.

i personally don't have a problem with the cracked keypads, if that was the only thing that was wrong with it! you should always read all reviews and be aware of what you're getting. i knew that the keys were going to crack. what i DIDN'T know was that the keys would start to malfunction! i went to sleep last night with a fully functional phone, and woke up this morning to a keypad with HALF OF THE KEYS being extremely difficult to push. I had to use both thumbs to push the number 7 hard enough so the phone would react! also, the scroll buttons on mine no longer work. i don't understand what happened, but it is definitely very frustrating to put up with. also, i called sony and they are unwilling to give free replacement, although i have only had this phone for ONE MONTH!

for the person asking about the theme change, usually, sony ericsson themes do not change the icons.

My previous phone is a flip that was sturdy as a rock. I love the design of this phone, especially the new themes and how the predictive text is on texting. The one issue I have is that the phone is delicate. I dropped it once, and the shell is bent and now the screen doesn't work. Thats my bad for dropping it, but it happens and I would have hoped the phone fared better. Anyone else have this experience and has any suggestions about how to fix the display connection?
Also, another issue I have with this phone is the construction. Everything is put together with plastic snap in clips that make it hard to open the battery compartment.

Been using this phone for several months now. Overally I'm very pleased with it, but the slide mechanism could be a bit sturdier.

I got mine yesterday with Bmoile in Barbados and I love it compared to my 3250 that i had before the sound is not as loud but its 10 times clearer. with reference to the keypad thing i guess ill jus have to wait and c i hope they'll replace it if it does crack.
