i think se's build quality as in the material used in their phones is going from bad to worse...

the k750i had soft keys made of horrible cheap plastic...the lens cover of the w800i got loose in no time...the battery cover of the w810i was loose from day 1...the m600i has a wafer thin battery cover & buttons made of the cheapest plastic...the k800i has had a loose lens cover from day 1...the worst of the lot is the k610i which has cheap material written all over it & se has shipped it without a handsfree...even the p990i it seems has keypad buttons made of rubber...for the joysticks in se phones, the lesser said the better...

se phones used to have such wonderful build quality...it felt so good to hold the t610/k700i/p910i especially the s700i...the s700i was a super phone in all aspects of build quality & se has lived upto those standards even in the w900i but i'm afraid i can't say so for any of se's new phones...

i mean i would rather pay more & get a more sturdy phone made of better firmer material, don't matter if it is metal or plastic or alloy.

is it just me or there are other esatorians who believe so too???

Agree with you in every way. It seems as SE gets richer, the stingier they get. But it has already been discussed here: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=123660
