              Yours cracked when it was a week 30?!?!?
              I thought it was meant to be fixed by week 27...

                    the cracking keypad problem only applies to the mysterious green S500, because of a chemical reaction with the green paint and the keys making it brittle. SE has fixed this already in the newer batches

                      Okay, the keypad thing will be resolved sooner or later. But the keypad is under warranty or should be. Just send an email to Sony Ericsson and they will approve of this too so who ever you purchased it from should help you fix it.

                            Hey. Keypad cracking- this is when the keys split in two. They don't come out but wou'll not like to see it. It doesn't happen as soon as you get the phone. About 3 weeks after. 3 of my keys have split down the middle don't know if they can be replaced at the moment. The sound- sweet, loud, clean, music. Louder than the 810i Proven by myself tuesday night. Plays wma files also. Life

                              Are there any
                              Indications that i can get that my keypad is going to crack?

                                  i just got it today..
                                  totally awesome!

                                  one problem: opening the back cover to put the sim card or change battery.. the design makes it really hard to open the back

                                    The phone has no keypad problems. The sound is amazing. The battery door is very asy to remove. My question is does this have flash?

                                        it's not the matter how many sms you send everyday. The keypads just simply crack ("automatically") because most of my cracked keypad didn't happen on the spot when i typed sms messages if you know what i mean.
