I agree, the build quality could and definately should be better.

I have the W810i and man it feels really plasticy and cheap.




agree there... was thinking about upgrading to the w810i but was put off by the plasticky and cheap feel to it...

although i dislike motorola phones... i must say the feel and finish of the razr phones is superb...

Owned a bunch of SE phones and the only issue I ever had with them, specifically the K700, was the joystick. I'm not referring to creaks and funny noises, those are things I can happily live with.

I currently own a P910i, haven't smashed it against walls but it has suffered the occasional fall- fortunately not on concrete- and I haven't had any problems.

I've got an N70 and it's built quality is not superior to the P910i, in fact I find it to be slightly more plasticky then the P910i.

Those who complain that a phone has to be indestructible are fooling themselves, modern phones are not built to last longer then two years.

In Japan the build quality of phones are even worse because the manufacturers/networks want their customers to constantly upgrade their phones.

amen

but i have to admit, this is now up to date in the whole world, buy it, use and drop it away in 2 month, cos the upgrade is here.

@Boba: Not quite two months, for example in South Africa unlike the UK we only have 24-month contracts but in the 20th month you can choose to have a free upgrade. By that time your phone is so knackered it's crying out to be retired to nearest rubbish heap

Anyone in South Africa want to buy a bruised but still functioning P910i? Just send me a PM.

i get your point, but i can hardly imagine myself using the same fone 6 month long, especially now a adys. there are some models i get used to and keep it.

Take my good old trustsy T630. Flew through the air, crashed on concrete, barely a scratch on it. Always working well. Unfortunatley, it got lost last winter.

@ResidentEvil: I don't think it got lost, it might have ran off to avoid further abuse.
@Boba: Some members of Esato are the exception, most people buy a phone maybe ever 18 months, if I had to buy a new phone every six months I'd be broke.

@brix thats clear, i wrote my point of view and the way i manage my needs. anyway, wish sE would give more attention for the quality of their fones, not just for the covers, more for the fw aswell. plastic is cheap, indeed, but at least some aparts of the fone could be done from better materials.
