every1 thats buying the spare part should wait another few weeks to see if it gets any worse cos theres no point buying another for it to be broken again... |

Got a black W850i last Saturday (6 days), and after reading this...found the crack!
It's not noticeable if you don't look realy close at down on the pad. |

Cracking directional pads dont sound good at all! What with that, squeeky battery covers and loose slides the W850i's build quality really has a lot to be desired for.

I'm sorry to see that the crack issue is spreading even in your direction. Well it is not big, but it's disappointing to realise that SE didn't foresee such a simple thing in a flagship model. After all, the directional pad is meant to be used and battery cover shouldn't be loose. Other than that, this is an amazing, beautifully designed multi tasking phone
The slider is still holding firm, touch wood.

lol they did same with me , lol the person at cpw did it straight away , it took me about 30mins to firgure out how to open it without smashing it to peices or squeezing it so tight the screen cracked lol
my battery cover is ok now , although the battery itself has an "intel inside" sticker which i pulled off the pc and put on my phone lol.
the sliding mehcanism is awesome for me , i doughted it but its still sliding the same as it did when it was new !  |

Well guys a lil update we found on my frends W850 hz had hz for 1month now and when it was new we saw the crack wasnt that big BACK THEN well nw its very much visable,the crack extended coz i knw it only went frm the center nav key to the down nav key,wel nw hz W850 crack has grown its nw basicaly separating left side and right side of the nav key pad, the crack is now from the top of the Up nav key and goes down to the center nav key then frm the center nav key to the Down nav key and it has nw past the down nav key and nearly at the very bottom of the nav keypad,wich is seriously dissapointing, and very un-impressd by SE coz of W850 build quality

Now that's freaking scary. The crack on mine hasn't spread yet, but I'm equally disappointed with the W850i directional pad build quality.
It would be interesting to know whether anyone with this problem has actually managed to get the pad replaced. |

hi I'm new to this forum.
I have 2 Friends who are using W850i White also found the Crack on the Directional Pad.
Mine is Black, don't found the crack.
is the problems only exist in White Edition?
My battery cover also took me 30mins to open, @ the first time....

No the problem can be found on black W850i phones also.
Had no problem opening the battery cover.
