Hi I reattached my flip after using it for a while without the flip... and now there is something really annoying happening; all the keys have this "pushing feeling" to them when they are pressed, except for the star key which doesn't press at all, it works but I doesn't feel like its getting pressed at all, I cant remember if this is how it was when the flip was attached originally, does this happen to everybody or is something wrong ?

yes actually I did... the brando, hadn't thought of that to be the problem, but you are probably right, is it happening to other brando users ?

@kaaspad, all p800's have a keypad that is closer to the screen at the bottom (# 0 * keys) that at the top (OK key ETC) so all p800's have that strange feeling on the keys that you talk about.
When you first get the phone little details like that are overlooked because the other features are so cool it keeps your brain busy with other stuff.

I think I might just remove the flip then, cause its REALLY annoying it feels like its broken or something !! The star key is used a lot in order to unlock the keypad, and I feel like I'm breaking something each time I unlock

If you go back to flip off mode, getting "tracker" from http://www.my-symbian.com is a nice idea if you havnt got it because its far easier to lock & unlock screen without having to return to virtual flip mode using that silly square icon in the lower status bar. (the main reason most people revert to flip on).

I actually got it already, it is an awesome awesome !!! program. but actually the only reason I would go back to virtual flip mode was to dial, it seems to me that the numbers on the virtual flip are larger and easier to dial from than the ones in the "phone" program. ( I have big thumbs !! )
