I heard tat SE will change it for free.

Is it yours ORI set?

If yes, u maybe can go to claim SE services centre and get free new keypad

If the W580/S500 is original, then SE Service Center will surely replace the keypad for you for free. Don't worry.
If it's AP, I don't know.

anyone knows how to key lock the phone when it's closed? when u close the slide, it will lock automatically right? but how to lock it manually?

if i m not mistaken
u can press the power button on top
and select to lock it

i dun think Ap will provide free keypad replacement.

we can get it, but maybe need to pay lar.

so is this phone still a good buy?? or is there any other phones with the same price..

if not mistaken.... AP set also can change it free if still in waranty period, but u need to send from where u buy it...

actually yes.... but if u unlucky the keypad will crack but not all phone got this problem !!!!

hmm really ah? its a good buy?? i'm planning to get one.. but the key pad turns me down lar.. aiyo.. if let's say i get an original set and so... the keypad will be the same??

Of course same lar but if buy ori we lucky lor becos SE provide free keypad replacement.

ori or ap set also same.... but pray la dont get unlucky one !!!!

well , even the seller tells me not to press the middle of the keypad with nails if i use it .. now, thats not a problem for me cause i have extremely short nails . but if you have long nails ( girls(and some guys) do as an example ) you may run into trouble.. well from the stats you posted , it seems week 31 and below would be affected , well mine`s a week 35 phone ..(apprently from indonesia market,judging by the manual ) well will give it a week and see what happens .
mobile-review states that its a chemical reaction which dissolves the base .. which in the end results in the keypad problem .. though i`m guessing whther being so thin as when you use the phone or charge the battery , whther the battery heating up affects the keypad or not ...

Ic....... hm....... hopefully lar, u dun get tat problem even your phone fron week 35.


week 35 n 31 are not long time different mar.

Btw, wat do u meant by your S500i apparently from indonesia market?

hey how to check the manufactured date arh?? the weeks

i mean the manual there its written in indonesian .. so i said its from the indonesian market there

Ha...... how come ar malaysia phone got Indonesia language in manual.


never mind la as long as its not like others set tat keypad crack easily.
