Just got my new W810i and all is good, excellent phone and kit. Only one minor issue though - the navi-key squeaks when it's pressed in any direction, anyone elses do this and if so does it go away with time/use?

Both myself and my girlfriend had our W810's last friday. Mine seems to be OK but her's does sqeak a bit. I've read somewhere else on here that it's happening to one or two other too. |

It's a small squeak like a plasticky thing, and you have to be in a quiet place to hear it - I know it's not a huge issue, but when you get a new phone you want everything to be perfect with it.

Had this one for 6 days now and the squeaking has almost gone. Cure seems to have been lots of game playing. I'm glad cos I've got the phone just how I want it and wouldn't want to change it now.

Got mine about two weeks ago. Was VERY squeaky and creaky. It has gotten better by quite a bit. On mine it is coming from between the black plastic frame around the nav-pad and the plastic lcd cover. Wish the build quality was better but it's still my favorate SE so far out of, t68-t610-k700-k750.

Hi, I had the same problem with my w810. Posted the problem on a Norwegian forum and someone advised me to use dielectric silikon paste, the kind they use to grase mekanisms inside for example DVDplayers. It doesn't melt with heat and it doesn't conduct electrisity, so it isn't harmful to electronics. Just put som on the d-pad and use it a little, then wipe off the excess paste. Now my new phone is silent like it should be. |

lars: do you put it on the navi-pad itself, or did you have to open it up? |

@axilom: I put it around the edge of the d-pad, without taking anything apart. While applying the paste I tried to push down on one side while applying to the other side, so that the paste would get in between the pad and the cover. |

please be aware if you add that grease and your phone becomes faulty, an authorized repair center will not touch your phone for the reason of fluid ingress.
they may also be able to argue the phone has been tampered with even if you have not opened it... |

@wilson479: The amount of grease I'm talking about is equal to having some butter on your thumb and answering the phone (which may be an alternative solution, if your afraid silicon paste will harm your phone or void your warranty  ). I doubt the use of silikon will be either noticeable nor causing a warranty issue. But I agree, there may be a small risk involved.
