i've had mine for bout 4 days now and upto now no probs.... my use consists of:
*sending about 200-300 txts per day!
*making about 2 or 3 average length calls!
*and playing the odd game every now and then
and my keys are just like new... how are people pressing the keys? with their whole finger or the tip? i've found it easy to press with my whole finger thus spreading the pressure and not creating a stress point.
Thats just imho though. mine is fine and its 4 days old now

Tbh the phone should be well made enough to not have to worry about how you press teh button.... Its a button it gets used a lot so surely should be one of the most durable parts of a phone, with this evidence it obviously aint on the s500i.....

Somebody with time and who has the will to put in the efffort, should create a table showing what keys are broken if the phone was branded what country how many days old it is etc. Who knows a pattern may emerge. Ill put it into a table if some one gets the info.

I would second you, go for it man! Seriously, I have no problems using the Yellow/ Gold version of S500. I really think it depends on how people apply pressure on whichever models of phone they were using. Remember everyone, it is a slim phone. Use it with care. I am one that texts a lot in a day, so that 2day usage on my S500 should show and tell some sign if keypad quality is poor. Here is a pix of my keypad.
Hope it is just a few isolated cases of keypad cracking under serious pressure.

I hope all you people with problems on this phone get it all sorted.
Thanks for the link to that Blog, btw. Have subs to the RSS, so I can keep up to date with it.

Whats the over all quality of the phone? I never liked it TBH. Official pics and real pics show a world of difference.

There is something i still don't understand, do all the S500 keys rock or just those that were faulty (broke).
