I am getting a S500 black as soon as it will be out here(tomorrow or friday) knowing that I have 1 chance over 3 to have broken pads,but I am tired of my 1 year and 2 months old K800 and its free-radical joystick I can't wait Christmas to get a K850 for a fair price and nowadays there are no competitors for the S500...Samsung U600? no themes and slow camera,nokia? apart the n95 which is still very expensive nothing new and the 6500 is planned for october! so see? no I have no choice but getting a S500

Hi guys, I just got the w580 like 1½ week ago and I can confirm that I got the same issue. My number 2 key is broken in the midle. Very sad. I have emailed SE and I hope they will fix this somehow...
ps. I'll let you know when they reply

My W580 was built w29 and it still cracked. I took it back to the CPW store I bought it from today but they had non in stock. It seem Sony Ericssons blame on paint/chemical reaction on green S500's only was a bit of a porky |

yes, it looks like a design/materials fault. too bad it happened to this attractive looking phone :-/ |

I already asked se bout it...the cause of it because if you look closely to your w580 or s500 the keys are glue only in the middle..to it will tilt and crack

so they either have to change the materials of these keys or come up with a different layout.

I don't think the problem will be solved soon, not before months I guess! so either you live with those broken keys (as they are still functional), or go for an other choice. |

i read somewhere that the problem affects only the green colored S500 phone as the green paint has some kind of reaction to the plastic used with the keypad. making it more brittle and thus more susceptible to damage/cracking |

its not the paint...I already asked SE and heres the answer:
Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson on the World Wide Web.
S500i and W580i have the same keypad but not easily broken. It depends on the phone usage or handling.
Best regards,
Sony Ericsson Call Center Philippines
I dont believe it!

I acctualy did that I included them in the mail I sent.
But they just don't seem to answer my mail. I think they are ignoring this...
