I don't think it is supposed to crack(obviously), but that "bend" you see in the keys when he presses down with a pen is real. I wouldn't fear that becoming an issue though because doing that is really hard with just a finger and the way you "feel" the keys when texting always leads you to hit the middle of the key. I've had mine for about a week and have had no issues with the keypad.

I seriously doubt they did not design it correctly, also hard to belive that only a few have a design problem, weird.

I'v treated mine so carefully. When you press the center of the key with your thumb, the meat of your finger flows around the center and bends the key very easily, theres nothing you can do about it other than very precicly press the very dead center with your fingernail, and type one word a minute:)

sithcentz, do you think a branded version (mine is TIM) has anything to do with it, is yours branded? It's the same exact phone from SE just with a TIM logo on the front (and TIM menus).

Thanks

I'm wondering because now I'm not sure I want a replacment.

I've noticed with k800i especially, operator branded phones seem to have a different sompany make the housing...for example i had a '3' k800i which i stripped don, th housing was made by FOXCOMM whereas with my voda one it was made by some chinese company, im not sure what SE OEM ones are made by...prbably SE....so this could make a difference

Well, I have an unbranded one and I can't get it to bend it with my finger like you did with a pen unless I absolutely try to do it with considerable force. In other words, I could never accidentally bend it like that and I think your keypad is a little more loose than mine is. You said in your other post that you bend it naturally but to press it in the center would require you to slow down? I can't figure that out. The keys are so small that against my finger I have pretty much no choice but to hit down the entire key at once, thus preventing any "bending" because the keys are level.

Yah I'm hoping it's just an isolated problem. In the picture with the pen, I am just aboout letting the weight of the pen do the pushing, it's VERY loose and floppy. I guess you can't understand the key bending isue because yours is a better/sturdier design.

I can't stress enough how delicatly this phone was handled, this was my new baby. I posted this to give some warning that there could be a problem with the design.

Thanks for the replys.
