actually how to prevent the navipad crack? i heard there are some "modify" housing that can prevent this happen?

Skinning can actually prevent it to crack that soon. I used to have a friend who did screen on her black W850i and till now doesn't show a crack on it smile.gif

Hi all. I'm thinking of getting a W850i. Was wondering if some kind soul(s) here can help me out with some enquiries:

1. Does the "sliding" part of the phone get loose after some time?

2. What's the "D-pad"?

Thanks in advance.  smile.gif
*
1. The sliding part can be tighten up if you're buying an original set.

2. D-pad is Directional keypad of the phone.

Thank you for your reply.

It shocks me that the D-pad (the huge key thingy) can crack so easily as mentioned by users.

So is it advisable to get an ori Midlands set? AP is around RM930 while Midlands is about RM1,180 to RM1,299.
*
Midland set cover the crack keypad. So, I'd recommend to take up Midland warranty set.

thnx DFlo..i took of my crystal casing immediately.

to clarify:
1) disable 3g networks (only use gsm), does it extend batery life?
2) skinning, the plastic skin will eventually peel off (phone looks horrid in the        process) will it not?
3) has anyone come up with 'optimal charge' message b4, whats the different compared to 'fully charge'?
*
1. Yes. Because the phone will stop searching for 3G network.
2. No. It won't
3. No idea. Never face that before

hi there.. anyone here has themes to share?? ESP with flash menu? Using flash lite... I heard that u need to unlock your phone inorder to use it? Mind to share anyone?
*
Flash menu is not on themes. It's on the phone body itself. You have to mod it to have more flash menu.

You mean the D-pad or the LCD screen? If it's the LCD screen I doubt that. If it's the D-pad, it's a very common issue among w850 users. After some period of usage, you'll get some hairline cracks on the D-pad
*
Actually, the hair line crack is very much depends on the usage of the phone. A friend of mine has never face this till now after using for a year. So, don't play game with the D-pad tongue.gif
