Unbelievable! My K800 is only 2 weeks old and the coating on my keypad (6, 9) is peeling off! Damn! I brought it to my local SE customer service center and they told me this is unnatural and not a product issue. I said well yeah keypad is not made to last forever but hey only 2 weeks and the coating peels off!
Am I the unlucky one on earth? |

Peeling offf? Well that's a rare occurance. Well I don't think that it's widespread; I guess you are the unluckiest...

Maybe because its rubber instead of plastic, and thats bound to happen one day or another? And in your case, i'd say sooner rather than later. |

thats terrible quality - any pics
my w810 is still fine although some have had probs with silver coasting on d-pad!
it also depends on your skin.... some people have a lot more toxin in there skin and it corrodes things quicker - no joke!

You are now worrying me now.
Just had a look at mine and I can see a slight shine to the edges of 1, 4, 7, *, 9, 0 and #
Only got it Monday night with not much use ove the past 2 days. Just in my trouser pocket. |

Open a can of "whoop ass" on a service centre. Thats not acceptable. If the centre won't help, the shop will and MUST! Don't be bullied with this issue. Its two weeks old man, whether it's an unusual problem or not is non of your concern. Good luck!

That's not supposed to happen on a flagship product. what's going on  ??!! Just like their idea of integrating on w810s a bad quality lens glass that scratches as easily as wiping it with a clean cotton cloth. Even if it's for people who change their phones in less than a year, some durability comes in handy.

Here's an update:
My local SE customer service center told me they couldn't do much at this point because a) I am the first to report such issue and b) k800 is too new and there is simply no keypad spare parts available at this point.
However, they took a pic of my cellphone and promised to report this issue back to the SE HQ. If this is indeed a widespread issue then SE may consider replacing the keypad for free just like they did to the W800i orange joystick knob.
Remember to report to your local SE center if your k800 keypad coating peels like mine.
Oh well...

Trying to understand what this issue is. it's not too clear on the pic. my keys look like solid rubber. what is the coating you describe. the coating on the back i could understand. |
