for the record the S500's keypad does crack but it doesn't crack SUPER majorly like some people are inferring... Mine cracked just today but these are hairline cracks on the '3' key and the '7' key they are only visible if you actually look at the keys because of the backlight on the keypad makes it become visible. HOpefully SE will replace my keypad for something of better quality ..

Iv had this phone a day now and im sending it back. I love S E but there are slight problems with this phone.
1. yes it is true- there is a slight problem with the key pad but it is caused by people using there nails to text or by not pressing the button in the center of the button. if press down in the center of the buttons with your thumbs -you will be fine.
2. taking off the battery cover drives you mad , but with practice its easy.
3. on mine the lights would not change to pink ? strange !
this is fab little phone,its just not right for me

ANGELA, btw..my name is steve..lol...anyways..i found a person who fixed it..but didn't know how he did..this is what he said "I had that same problem too but I forget how I got it resolved. I think it was my own fault - I expected to instantly see the light applied. I'll try to see if I can remember how to replicate it.
"
so, its not the phone...anyways, were do you live..in canada..my wholesaler has alot....u should have kept your phone

I have read your comments but haven't heard anything about putting your own ring tones onto the phone.
Can you put your own ringtones for received text messages and voicemail?
For my samsung sgh t809 I was able to make my own ring tones but had to trick the phone to accept it. I had to change the extension from mp3 and just change it to 3gp and it would work. Is the SE the same way?

well, "Use Your Brain" their are photos of the cracked keypad and their have been several people including myself that have sent the phone back twice as both handsets had the cracked keys after 4 to 5 days. They keep sending me new ones but the same problem persists, i dont know what to do because i want my money back yet i bought it off ebay.

Maxx, the phone has one and it shows up when in locked mode/closed and you press the volume button, a white screen with black numbers shows the time.

I strongly believe there is a lot of BS from soe people who post their opinion!.....
Any phone company will provide you with a one year warranty, worldwide. So, if the keypad does crack; I'm sure they will change it for you immediately. If their product keep on cracking; SE will definately replace another one OR another model!
Sue SE if they don't do so for you!
Are you guys really stupid enough to believe in those comments???!!!
SE is such a big company, do you believe that they will sell something to ruin their reputation???

To owners:
Does this cell show numeric clock as a screensaver while in standby mode??? All SE phones have this, but I haven't been able to notice this feature in video previews of this mogel. It is new and has all this fancy light effects, so maybe SE abandoned clock screensaver for lesser energy consumption. I doubt that, but I need to be sure. Any answer will be great. Thanks.

I have no problems with the Keypad, the phone is great to me, even the pictures that I have taken are unbelievable for a 2.0 MP camera.
The only negative part is that it does not have 3G. Otherwise the phone is good.

I just got the phone, it is fantastic, the everchanging is awesome, phone looks great in person, feels great. Some cons are that it is creaky, the keypad feels fragile (moreso from all the people having problems), and taking the battery cover off is difficult. Other than that it is a great phone, good battery life, can't wait to use the music player and see how well that is. Does anyone w/ cracked keypads know how much it costs to replace them from SE? Since I have one of the first batch I'm expecting a crack sometime in the near future and would like to know the approximate cost.
