Sounds like the keypad PCB may have become disconnected from the phone's mainboard. It's connected via a small gold connector to the motherboard which can sometimes come a bit loose, like the one to the screen can do sometimes also.
If you're brave enough to take your phone apart, do it and then remove then replace the keypad board, making sure there's no dirt or dust on either the connector or the ribbon. Fingers crossed that may sort your problem, either that or you'll need a new keypad pcb, which are only a few quid off ebay

In the worst case, I've ssen a few T610/T616 as well as T630/T637 on eBay. Many of these are brand new, and inexpensive. I bought a T637 for use as a backup phone to my W810
