Remember the S500 keypad cracking problem I posted about a while back? Well, this problem has been officially recognized by Sony Ericsson. Their official explanation (from SE Germany) is that there is a chemical reaction between the green paint and the keypad material (plastic). This causes the keys to be easily broken. This is why the yellow version of the phone is not affected (no green paint). The issue is being resolved by SE. Also, apparently the affected S500's are made before week 27.

@miss uk - Never KNEW (past or future) mobile phone companies making a RECALL with their models dear

if ever, it will only be remedied by software/firmware upgrades . . . The

W850 has a keypad problem in the past (cracks) but never made a - recall . . .

I only heard of this recall things on - cars ! Not even babies born in the hospitals makes a - recall

Too many phones to release makes the QC department work too carelessly.

Nice to see a reason and a solution to the problem. But I'm still very surprised that nobody noticed this serious issue before it hit the stores.

Don't forget that SE released the s500 one month after it was presented
