gah. my number 4 kaypad cracked after 3 days also. damn sad now. played too much rayman 3 i guess. now onli playing games which uses the D-pad. will see if any more keys crack b4 going to change the keypad. T_T

btw, just some info to share. the shake control works even when ur keypad is locked. jus hold the W key and shake. happy.gif dunit to keep unlocking the phone to change songs.

i'm also wondering how to lock the keypad manually. for now it's on autolock though. X_X

QUOTE(asura_86 @ Sep 8 2007, 11:33 PM)
i just tested the phone in the shop, didn't buy it though...it's quite cool, as the phone will vibrate slightly when the track changed...

but it kinda feels weird to shake to change tracks...cause got a few people looking at me as if i'm trying to shake something out of the phone  sweat.gif
*
eh nice to use leh the shake control. i don't have to take my phone outta the hp sock. jus hit the W button, hold and shake. hehe. just one smallish shake will do tongue.gif

QUOTE(2uk3y @ Sep 8 2007, 11:41 PM)
ok hope to see the picture soon..... some tips on take picture, not to close when u take it...
u said K810 rite, that is a good camera phone.... take picture range around 3-4 inch from the crack....
after that crop it using any picture editor... that way u will get better n clear picture !!!!  icon_rolleyes.gif

6) how long will it be until the slide bcom loose? (normal usage) [EDITED]
7) the color fade prob.. where fade? the keypad? wat is D pad by the way? [ANSWERED]
8) how long is the battery life? (for normal usage) [ANSWERED]
9) wat is the walkman version for w810i? (jes wanna noe) [ANSWERED]
10) wat is the trade-in value for w810i? (trade-in n buy the phone)
11) how much does Sony M2 2gb memory cost? [EDITED]
12) this phone got light? like w810i light function where u can turn it on n off
13) this phone got infra-red? [ANSWERED]
14) is it easy to type with the phone? (for normal ppl? ^^) [EDITED]
15) how is the sound quality of the phone compare with w810i? is it MUCH better or onli slightly better?

16) [refer to (7)] there r complains about fading color. can anyone upload the picture of the phone with faded color?
17) can anyone upload the picture of cracked keypad?
i read a lot ppl complain bout cracked keypad. but the display unit i saw didnt have cracked keypad.. its been there for 3 weeks++ and a lot of ppl is toying with the keypad.

PS : its a working model, not a dummy unit.
i saw the unit there 3 weeks ago

EDIT : added some stuff
*
i'll answer the ones i can. since i'm in Sg and i dunno the prices in msia.

1) check wif sony site? yes it's usable after crack

6) depends. mine's not as tight as it was when i 1st bought it d. but not loose until it can slice open by itself. when opening and closing jus be more gentle then won't longgar so fast.

14) easy for me. but then again, i'm a girl wif smaller fingers than guys dry.gif

16) the D-pad when originally bought is all black (for the grey version). now there's a nice lil ring where the light can shine through at the edge. personally i think it looks nicer. i'm trying to scrap off the paint so i'll hv a nice blue ring on my Dpad. ahah

17) pics hv been uploaded b4 d. browse through the prev pages
