I found that if I give the games a real lashing, the joy stuffs up so I've learnt to be more gentle on it. Once you learn to use it gently it recovers and works like normal. I don't know why, but this has happened to mine. It recovers if I don't hammer it so hard in games.
I'm guessing that with heavy pressure the joystick somehow becomes separated from the contact, but once used for a while with lighter pressure it reattaches or re-seals or something.
Now that I've got the pressure right, it doesn't stuff up anymore. I wonder if that gells with other peeps exerience?
found the same thing as yours... at the first month of my fon i was very rigid with the stick, just trying to force till it gives up, its part of using the warranty i guess...
then the stick went crazy like it doesnt respond to left or down movement, so i tried pressing it further to the left and down for a long time then the cursor starts moving... after that rigid use, i tend to use the keys since it has corresponding selections... 1-9 for pop-ups and desktop menu. then eventually my stick went back to its normal self. up until now still functioning good.

Not sick of mine yet at all.
Hate to say it but i've been using joysticks for years, like it or not they accumulate dust and crap. It's not just limited to those on mobile phones

Ive been haunted by this occurrence for some time. My k700i was effected and it seems to have passed over to my 7 month old k750i. Between the 5-7 month border it had Begun.
However...
To simply overcome this problem, go into the menu screen and rotate the joystick in all angles for about 30 seconds. It kind of renews it, although you'll find it plays up a few hours later.
Essentially, you should dismantle it and give it a good clean. But if your like me and will only take it to peices if neccessary (a new full housing) you should use the alternative way.
Hope this helps!

I recently replaced my K700i for a V600i because my joystick on my K700i was so bad that it no longer did anything except press OK. I cannot go long enough without a phone, so i did not get it fixed. However, my V600i a few days ago turned off and wouldn't turn back on and so i am getting that fixed and my K700i has become my back-up phone. Its HORRIBLE! I will be getting it fixed as soon as my V600i comes back. And earlier it was mentioned that going easy on your joystick may help out, NOT TRUE, my K700i has been sitting dormant for over a month and it is still as bad as when i left it. My advice is to take good care of your phone while its good. Also, i found using a vacuum cleaner on the joystick does help a little bit, however this does not last too long.

( Mine K750I joystick stuck up after only 1 month of usage. It won't go right, and the directon right is the most unused direction for me. Never played games with it. I used a compressor on it to clean the dirt. I sow the dirt coming out through the keypad, but the youstick is still not going right. When you look at it from above, it doesn't stands upright. It is little tipped on the right. I think that there is a bigger problem then plain dirt. I went to a SE service, and they told me to leave the phone to them to be fixed in two days! Two days!!! I don't have a backup phone. I gues i'll have to make through that two days without a phone
( It's weird that they told me that thay haven't other K750i problems in the service, and I read in this forum that there are numerous problems so I guess that they are lying.

there are not numerous problems. There are some problems yes but did you ever think about this: people for whom joysticks work fine aren't gonna bother making a post about it, but those who have problems are frustrated so more likely to post that they have a problem.
So what you are seeing on the posts is disproportionate compared to the problem. In other words for every post by someone who has a problem, there are hundreds who don't have a problem and therefore see no need to tell everyone "hey I don't have a problem".
So when the service centre say that, they are not lying.

I think that
is finally aware of so many defectful joysticks!
That to explain why the successor W810i comes with a pad, and many other models already in the market too (Z520, W550, W900); all with a pad instead of the sucky joystick!
