You could try your luck, but it'll be quite obvious that you dropped your phone and I don't think that's covered by the warranty.

I doubt it.

Does it work ok other wise? Would you risk taking the cover off to see what it was?

if u have a service in your near, let it check there. even warranty doesnt cover it, maybe for a lower fee they check it at least. is it working properly? what bugy did u notice?

As far as I can tell at the moment it's working fine - think I might stick with it for the time being, having no problems with the firmware or build quality so think i'll stick with it

Just so annoyed with myself!

Luckily don't seem to have any bugs - something is rattling inside behind the screen so sounds as if something has come loose, but all seems to be working fine...

Have you tried the camera yet? The little microswitch that activates the camera when you open the shutter is prone to breaking.

If it's not that, it might just be a bit of the fascia/housing that's snapped off, a securing lug or something like that, in which case it shouldn't be a problem, apart from the annoying rattle!

Yeah, just tried it, switched between all the different modes with no problems - tried the flash and all that stuff and all worked fine, think it might just be nothing, luckily!

well i had mine in my pocket and i fell while running, first on my elbow, and then on my k850 which went deep inside my thigh...lower rear part hurt...OF THE PHONE....the place where the back covering meets the latch which contains the SIM card and Memory Card...it just sank inside each time even a little force was applied...making annoying creaks and clicks...so i opened the latch and put in a thin strip from a prepaid scratch card...perfect now [addsig]
