The right movement of my joystick seems to stick and at times it scrolls continuously (like the the menu screen) which drives me crazy. Has anyone have this problem before? If so, how do you go about fixing it?

I definitely not brave enough to open the phone myself nor I wish to send it to the service center here in the US which may takes weeks.

I will be going to Singapore and HK next month. Is this something I could take it to the service center there and can be fixed in a matter of minutes?

My mate had that problem with his T68(i). It was caused by a build of of dirt under the joystick. He had it cleaned when he had a new cover put on at an SE service point!

As the man says,it`s probably got muck in it( that stupid gap around joystick) try using a vacume cleaner if you don`t want to dissmantle the phone. ...BUT it still could be a fault, my friend took delivery of a brand new one that did that & it had to go back. his just stuck & continually moved through the menus.
