this is my first slide phone so i don't know what is still OK and what not. When i press a key (specially keys on bottom left - panel key for example) it fells like the top part of the slider gives in a bit. there's a bit of travelling space between the keyboard half and the screen half. Is this normal and I am just complicating things or this shouldn't be happening? It's not as obvious if I hold the phone without the other hand positioned at the crack between the halves.
I hope I explained this well enough to be understandable and you know what I mean.
EDIT: after a long search on google I think the correct term for that is wobbly. So do you find your Xperia slider wobbly?

Mine is black and I noticed some paint scratches on the back cover, especially to the sides. I think it was scratched by my fingernails. I'm afraid that it will become larger every time I open the back cover. Just as my c902 did. Does the silver one has this scratching problem too?

one more thing. The left side of the sliding screen unit seems too SHARP. the plastic below the metallic cover is deep resulting to an exposed metallic edges. The otherside seems so perfect. I have the silver one. I left already the place where i purchase it and i might be back there after a week or two.
Mine has that same edge...will take the fight to the provider...really shoddy build quality |

I´ve been told the metal back piece (houses the battery) comes off easily, is it true? |

I returned my Silver X1 due to a faulty FM radio and got a Black X1 in exchange (I like the Black better now that I've had both in-person). The build quality seems more robust in the Black X1. I don't know if it's because it's newer or if the black ones are built better? Also, the battery cover on the black seems thicker, heavier and snaps in "cleaner" than on my Silver X1. |

My first X1 (silver) had a VERY loose back cover, so I got o2 to do a door step exchange. My new one is definitely more robust and I can't see the battery cover coming off any time soon, I actually had trouble trying to pry it off myself! |
