Come on guys, after posting the photos, will someone at least make a comment?!! I know the photos aren't great but I think you can see the light showing through on the top left corners of each key.

Yes, I can see light shining-through at the corners. Is it the 'sticker' part that has come away or the bit underneath, at the corners?

It's the stickers which have pulled away from the keys at the corners. Because they were sticking up I used a sharp blade knife to cut away the bits sticking up to smooth off the edges but the damage is already done. The term sticker probably conjures up the wrong image because they are pretty thick but in the end they are just stuck onto the key so you must be careful how you treat your phone! When I run the ends of my fingers on the edges of the keys I can definitely feel the stickers on some of them.

..so, is the key actually two pieces? A stamped out base, and then a melted on, thinner, layer on top of that? With the letters and so on?

wow that's very shocking! will there be a case when the keypad start peeling off? like the case in k800?
mine is ok so far, the keyboard can live up to the standard against my finger nails, i typed a lot, but don't know for how long
let's hope some optimistic comments from others!

That's the point - some of us were naive enough to believe that the keys were solid pieces of plastic (like the keys on PC keyboards) rather than bits of plastic with stickers (or worse still, paint!) on the top showing the letters and symbols.

Er.. most keyboards that weigh less than a kilo or two have hollow buttons, and stickers with letters embedded or melted in on top. And sometimes the edge of the button can break off, and the plastic layer on top will become loose.
So until someone confirms the buttons are actually two parts glued on top of a frame by small children in Singapore...
