    I picked up one of these in CT/USA just 1-2 months ago. My #4 key developed a crack right down the middle after about 3 weeks of use...today I now have 8 of 12 keys split in the same fashion. I've owned phones for 2-3 years and pounded out the text messages religiously with out something like this happening. I specifically avoided getting a phone with the touchscreen keys because I know they can be very problematic, and I prefer texting where I can actually "feel" a button to depress. Just that now I'm wondering when these cracks will simply cause the buttons to fall off!!! Other than that, I've had no problems with the phone. It holds a charge well, gets good reception, easy to navigate the web, my mail, etc. Just those darn buttons!!

        Hmmm time sure fly like a bird... i had this handset for nearly.... around...5month already... and guess what??? its still ALIVE!!! It are a durable phone i must say myself.. i dropped it so many time that i didnt bother to count already... and there is no prob at all... and the defected keypad?? i dont give a damn... sure it look ugly but if u think the other way.... its just a scratch... no big deal u can still press it anyway... And the speaker is amazing... surpass w910 which i compare with my friends... and custom skins for the walkman makes it more awesome than eva... TWO ThumBS UP:) and the signal is pretty good... better than k550....

          Though this phone has a great array of features, I regret buying it because of how cheap it feels, my buttons have cracked within 3 weeks of owning it (yes it is a new model too!) and O take very good care of it. The lip under the keys also is loose.

                        Hey

                        Has any1 else had the problem, when you have added your music tracks to the music player, although it is sorted my name, it goes :
                        a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z : Then when it hits Z its only half way through my songs, and starts again at " a " with my other songs :S

                        Please e-mail me or reply here this really bugs me :D

                          I think that cracking keys problem is solved with newer models.
                          When i was buying a k750i I ignored the joystick problem. Now I have k750 for more than
                          a year and my joystick works just fine.

                                  umm go for the C902 ok? its much better than Nokia 6500 even though i kinda like the design and W580 is not good enough. too many problems with W580.

                                      I have this phone and it's excellent! If you treat it with care, you shouldn't be having issues as cracked buttons, etc. It's a great phone with many helpful features and well worth it, just be sure to take care of it.
