Had mine for almost two years until I cracked the display. Not designed to be stepped on, apparently. :)
Easy DIY fix, front cover snaps off easily and the the display ribbon connects to a socket. OEM replacement displays seem to be about €20, so it's a fairly cheap repair as well.
I did see it as an excuse to spend money on a new phone, but if it hadn't broken I'd probably seen no reason to have it replaced now. It's a nice phone, good at most of the basic stuff and it looks pretty. Stock battery capacity might be a bit on the low end for heavy music playing or app/game usage, but otherwise I can't find much to complain about. I'll probably get the repair parts so I can use it as a spare when I step on the new phone...

reiko, 08 Mar 2010is this good when it comes to music? tell me something abou... morethe music in terms of sound is good...the ext speakers are loud enuf (louder than most phones) and the earphone sound quality is decent (avg compared to walkman series).....only problem is that it has a very boring and plain music player....not many music features too....but walkman player can b installed in the phone by flashing the firmware....

Great phone. Had it for >2 years. Use it as a remote for my computer now. Keypad cracks, but not a real problem. Sexiest phone ever.
