After only 4 days of VERY carefull use of my new S500i, two of the keys are cracked down the center. It's a geat phone, I hope to get a replacement of the same model. Anyone else had this happen?

I think so, I see it on a lot of sites in stock. Mine is TIM branded (Italy), I doubt if this has anything to do with the problem. |

i've sold 2 phones so far. we started selling them on june the 30th
so far so good.
i'll try to sell more of them to see if anything happens 
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

We're getting ours in at the end of the month, so time will tell.
Looks nasty though :/

it's an interesting design. The keys rock back and forth over there center (I'm Barley pressing to make the keys tilt this far). It keeps you from accedently an adjacent key and works very well. Only problem is they are so thin and flimsy that they actually bend over there center with very little pressure. I think it's a little sress riser right where the letters/numbers have the light coming through.

either yours is a factory malfunctioned or that is a major design fault, i doubt the keys should be bending like that

Yah seems extreme. When I bought it I assumed that the shiny post between the keys would be solid and the key would press down around them. Everything else about the phone is really great IMO. |

are you male or female out of interest as i've noticed this phone seems to appeal a lot more to women than men, although I kinda like it apart from the flowery themes

Male. The phones cool factor is very high. I didnt even think of it as flowery at all, they are pushing the "fairy themed phone" sort of. But you can change the theme and light efects to whatever you want. I think of it as very organic looking. |

how is the slide mechanism on yours? flimsy/wonky/wobbly? or firm, sort of like w850, if you've used one? when you have slide up or down, and press buttons, does it feel firm or flimsy?

The slide mechanism is very solid with no movement when it's open. The phone flexes a little when it's open, I think because the two halfs are so thin. It feels a tiny bit gritty but over all pretty smooth. It's the only slider I've ever used. |
