Was it hard taking the S500i apart to change the keypad, as I'm getting one soon that has the dreaded cracked keypad and am planning to change it.
In fact, if you don't want your green keypad any more let me know! 
Edit: Though just noticed it seems you live in Austrialia, might be a bit far for posting just a keypad! Oh, and well done on the mods, very nice job!

sorry about the pictures, they are taken on my old k750i, cant seem to find my 5mp digicam
i brought this phone from Ebay around 2.5 months ago, but i cant seem to find it in Australia yet, i have just seen the w580i around.
yep! i live in Australia, under optus in Melbourne
@ sammy_boy; i think it will be cheaper if you order a new keypad from Hong Kong as sending it from Australia might be a bit expensive.

@alexxgg - Conversion from S500 to W850 is possible as the phones have identical hardware. It is done by flashing the firmware. put firmware (software) from W580 on the S500.

strizlow800 - yep you are about 99% correct
theres 1 thing however, as the s500i does NOT have an pedometer (i think thats what it is called), the fitness function of the phone will not work - also theres no radio either
lucky i do not use those functions, but i would love to see how the pedometer works.
for me personally, i like the s500i design better than the w580i |

Flashing it to a W580 shouldn't be a problem. I flashed my K750 to W800 sometime ago and it was dead simple.
I am really impressed with the look of it, looks much nicer with a silver keypad.
