@max, I think you're lucky because I treat my phones as well as you do and have never dropped any of them before! My phones have a pocket all to themselves and I hardly ever gotten a scratch on them before. Many of my friends are amazed when they know how long I've been using my phones cos they look as good as new. I don't even flash my phones' firmware using third party clients and if I ever face any firmware bugs, I'll get the firmwares upgraded at the SE service centre. So you see, I can't possibly take any better care of them than I'm already doing. Yet, software and hardware issues still arise. My K750 was one. It worked perfectly till one day, the joystick became insensitive or oversensitive. I even cleaned the joystick regularly! So there, I'm inclined to believe that there must be some issues with the SE phones.

When we are at taking care of my phones, I am in the same situation when my friends are looking at my phones. Actually I have managed to keep all my phones as new, even after a years of using. I mean it for the hardware and the housing, but the software, I use to mod it a lot and flashing seems to be a routine in my life these days.

Yup, I get what you mean. I use my phones heavily, but they still look almost as good as the day I bought them. Anyway, my Z770's back at the service centre again, I'm getting them to take a look at it regarding the "Insert simcard" error message and also check why the time resets itself when I remove the battery for just a few seconds. It's never happened before on my K750 and W810. The reason why I'm concerned about this issue is because I usually charge my battery externally and swap batteries very often. In the few seconds it takes to swap the batteries, the date and time would reset, so you can imagine how troublesome it is to set it everytime I charge my battery. I've been charging my battery externally for my W810 all the time but I've never faced this problem.

I'm only joking mate! I know I'm just lucky, there is no such thing as an OEM who never produces lemons!
Like you guys, my phones always look almost as good as new when I'm finished with them. I notice some people and their phones have lost half the paint and big gouges in them!
But I sorta repsect that too, even though I can't bring myself to allow that to happen to my phones. Something kinda cool about a bashed up old phone that's still faithfully performing it's duties.

I know you are, max, no worries. I just got my phone back from the SE service centre. I'm seriously irritated now. I previously mentioned that it displays "Insert simcard" upon turning on the phone. Now, after I got it back from the service centre, it displays " Insert correct simcard". This has gotta be a joke. I'm gonna give them a piece of my mind tomorrow.

sorry if this is a stupid question, but have you tried other simcards?
Also I had a problem with my K750 where the simcard became loose in the socket and I cut a thin sheet of cardboard to the size of the simcard and placed that over the simcard to push it firmly onto the contacts and it fixed that problem for good.

@max, I've tried 3 different simcards frm different service providers to no avail. I checked "Simlock" under "Service info" and saw that all the options show up as locked. If I were any other normal customer, I'd be really pissed by now, having to go to the service centre thrice over the same problem. The only reason I'm not losing my temper at them yet is because my workplace is pretty near the service centre and I know one of the staff there. I'm still gonna let her know what I think of their service though. Wish me luck in getting back a working phone soon.

good luck mate.
I think you are entitled to a replacement handset - if they can't fix the problem after three returns they have to replace. Atleast that's the common terms of legislated 12 month warranties (regardless of what the manufacturer offer). This is the case in Australia, or atleast used to be last time I checked warranty law.

Well, I've just got it back. No replacement, but the problem's supposedly fixed. I sure hope it is, cos if it isn't, I'm gonna raise hell. Only did a brief check as I'm working. Will do a more thorough check when I get home. The only good thing that came out of this is that I've learnt to appreciate my W810 even more. At least I have one phone that I know will not fail me.

The W810, W800 and K750 are the most rock solid phones ever. If it wasn't hopelessly outdated I'd still be using my K750 now. Once you get used to a large 320x240 screen it's impossible to go back to 176x220.
