When did you order one of those knobs? I was going to order one on 30/8, but he ran our 6hrs earlier.
According to the mail from eBay, "Tuesday, Aug 29, 2006, 05:00:48 PDT". He mailed me soon after this to let me know that it was in the mail, and today it arrived. (No pictures yet, but you have seen it in his ad.)
Fits nice and gives a much better feel to the joystick. I find it easier to get the joystick to move in the direction I want it to, without having to be too focused on what I am doing. Just installed it a few hours ago, have not used it much, but I like it a lot. Sometimes when trying to move down I get a click/press action instead, but I think that I will just get used to this gizmo and this problem will disappear.
There was a nice letter in the envelope, explaining just how to install it, and offering more help by mail in case of trouble.
Highly recommended!

have no problems for my w800i. had it for 5 months +. I use the no hole cap. Works perfectly for my w800i design which keeps 95 percent of the dust off.

I've ordered one the other day (due next few days hopefuly). If you go to the eBay link, email the seller, he emails you back and keeps you up to date with what he's got, when he's making some more. He's very helpful. (I say I ordered one, I meant I got my cousin to order one... as I think eBay is the website of Satan. This way, my concious is clear).

My metal joystick on my K600i hasn't given me any problems as of yet. Been using it for about 9 months already. Though I can see some dust accumulating, doesn't affect the joystick's performance yet...

I've had to return my K800i for the second time in 2 months due to a faulty joystick. The first time it stopped responding when i pressed left, the second time it stopped responding when i pressed down. The only way around it was to press on the joystick harder. I've always taken care of the phone, kept the joystick free of dust and always kept it in a case. I guess it's a manufacturing problem.

its not dust getting into the joystick that stops it from working, because it has a rubber seal all around it. i took my phone apart to clean it out and realized this.
