I protect my joystick by using my t39 n seldom close the flp to minimize the flip count

This post was posted from a T68i

I got a save-room installed in my house after sept 11. 10cm steel walls. That should work.

I returned my new T68m 3 times before I was satisfied with screen uniformity, contrast, backlights, slider and joystick feel. Each phone is different... nothing like seeing 11 on the joystick counter hehe

....I got a good idea...

Don't use the phone at all, put it in a glass cabinet and marvel at it's beauty....

Come on mate, just use it like it's intended and designed to be used

wow..then you should really go to your local SE service centre and asked for warranty coverage on your broken joystick
it's lucky that u still have a small remnant piece of joystick there for you to scroll, if the joystick completely breaks,i really wonder how to get to the menus?

I guess you could still get into the menu coz you'd still be able to press down. Would be well fiddly though and a right royal pain in the arse. Would drive me mad definitely...

mine's nearly on 120000. and it works fine. all i've done to it is cleaned it. judst get a t06 screw driver and open it up, and clean the whole phone.

if a phone's brokenb that's the first thing you should do, although it voids warranty, if you open it carefully there's no sign that you'vve touched it.

This is madness we r all worring about r phones and if they r goin to break 6-7 months down the line. i have a question for u, in the warranty it says general wear and tear is not included (obviously) but wot if ur joystick breaks after 7 months. Would u call this a fault in the phone cos they havent designed it gud enough to last more than 12 months or wud u call it general wear and tear???????????

Oh i have had my tasty T68i 2 weeks and it is on 17800

How long has everyone else had theres and how many moves has ur joystick had?????

I had mine like for about 3 months,not a heavy mobile phone user
my joystick counter now is almost 150,000
i think u would have guessed why that much on just an average user.
Try the game Q and when u have finished the whole game,it will add around 40-50,000 counts,unless u avoid the joystick and go for the 2,4,6,8 keys
anyway Q is a nice game, which i think had already been brought up by another member
BTW,i don't think disassembling your T68i yourself is a good idea if it's under warranty,should just carry it to the nearest centre for free servicing and it will take only a short while(15 mins for servicing at my nearest local SE centre)
