I only use the joystick when necessary; if it's possible to use keypad shortcuts, I use them instead of the joystick. I rarely use the joystick button; I use the left softkey most of the time.



See what I mean. People can't even use the features of the phone practically anymore because of this very problem.

God knows who would buy a j210 etc. if this joystick problem occurs to even the top models i.e. w800

the major problem with the joystick is that dust tend to get under it and causes malfunction. if it won't so tedious to open then cleaning would be no problem

Well I have to say the K750i is still a great phone, after having it for over 6 months, but that joystick does let it down.

I've had mine fixed twice now, first time O2 didn't really do a very good job, but 2nd time (i've just got it back) they must have replaced the whole joystick because its like brand new now and works a treat.

Hopefully it won't screw up again for a while.

Also got the repair centre to blow out the trapped dust under the screen (which was becoming annoying) and they've do that, my screen is now dust free! Until i drop it.

Mine couldn't have been due to dust, because the CPW couldn't fix it.... They sent it to

If its anything like mine, it took 6 days for the whole process, which isn't bad, when you feel that joystick working like the day you bought it!!!

Cheers
