if you got the phone from a shop then check the slider action and only take one you think is good.

Just been into Carphonewarehouse as I am off work today. All done and exchanged. Now in the shop I tried the slide its nice and solid(for now)but also the battery cover is tighter it clicks into place like it did not before. Actually glad it broke now got better one. I hope They were laughing in the store saying WE AINT NEVER SEEN ONE GO LIKE THAT. I said well shit happens!

My Nokia 5530 whilst it is a lovely phone with a fantastic UI & screen amoung other things all it did in the end was crash on me. But I may add that its early software but I could not be arsed to put up with it so I returned it to exchange back to my old C510 but at the same time I was offered a contract. So I took the advantage & got a spanking lovely W995. Anyway more trouble. After checking the slider in the shop I got it home & found it to be suddenly worse again after an hours use. The slide was worse than before although not broken it rattled when I used the D pad. I was fecking fuming Anyway I went back to a different Carphone store & their ones were fine very solid & its been fine since. But I am sorry lovely as the phone is I am disgusted with for building a premium product with shoddy build right outta the box. I had an argument with the guy in the shop till I got another exchange saying that such products that expensive AND with me signing an 18 month contract I will not accept what he says that they are all supposed to be like that With a phone that expensive I am sorry it should be solid right out of the box though I understand it can losen with time but not brand new. Its a fantastic phone & I am now satisfied but I dont put up with shoddy crap like that & some idiot in the CPWH telling me thinking I am some thicko that all sliders are meant to rattle & wobble that bad out of the box. When I was holding the first replacement I could actually feel the slide moving when I was hardly doing anything on it. Simply not acceptable & need to address this build issue on such high end products. End of rant. Happy now though Till next time.................................................... But you can see my point when I get a new expensive phone like that & the slide actually rattled

@Bonovox: Could you post the manufacturing date on your new W995? (the label under the battery, it should look something like 09W28)... thanks!

I can't believe this build quality issue is happening once again, i thought SE had enough with the recent problems they faced with some models like W580, S500, W910, C905 et al... Hope this time is just a few units at most....

Sorry for late reply I was uploading some music. Mine is wk37/09 it says. I am definately not exaggerating things I really was annoyed. If I shook the phone just ever so lightly it would rattle the slider & when using the D pad it was so annoying because it actually felt like it was just going to fall apart. Its not good enough much as I love & this phone its infuriating. Though so far zero software issues just the build. The battery door is also better on the latest replacement.
