Good review razyblade. I only managed to see this kinda late which is today. Thanks for the review, I may consider getting this phone despite all the complains about the keypad.

If you're going for the Green (which is nicer), I'd suggest you wait a while.

SE is coming up with a solution so that it does not crack in new handsets.

The Gold version is not affected though.

That's a known fact that the S500i and W580i's keypads are very prone to cracks.

So potential buyer's please be aware that this problem is prevalent.

I heard it has something to do with the color and chemical reaction with it... maybe someone else could clarify this??

That's what I heard from the service centre guys as well.

I guess that's the main reason for the cracks.

That's the problem. sad.gif
I asked the SE Service Center. Midland set will cover all so still not sure going to buy or not.

p/s : I-Mobile 902 very cheap now. Not even RM 1,000 rolleyes.gif

OT: I-Mobile's features are not as good as any SE phones, save for the face that the camera's darn good!

Just bought a used S500i, luckily its a Thorus set, cos the motherboard just fried, and its under warranty. Going to change the keypads as well as its already cracked.
