I want to ask the Sato users, which have it for more than a week and can share an opinion, what is the overall build quality, could i expect some wearin of the glossy silver sides and on and around the lock/unlock button. I have the silver model.

Well, honestly, for a 599€ high-end phone, it should be much better. I would not mind having it with metal coating and even a few grams more. It is all plastic (as you can see) but I think it has an overall good quality. My side chrome is still perfect after almost 2 month of use and I don't use any case of sock.

I got the silver version of the phone, and i clearly remember that the amongst the three color versions the silver one was not glossy at all (compared to the other two options). Are you talking about the silver version.
I am mostly afraid fro the lock/unlock button, i think that if something gets peeled off it would be its chrome finish...

I had the black one and I found it cheap, too light and as has been said should have been metal. The unlock key felt a like it would fall off and make some horrible cracking when trying to unlock it. I found I had to give it a good slide to unlock it so messed with settings to keep it unlocked.
The best part is the camera cover which seemed solid. Alot of dust got in the top of the screen too. The worst part of the phone is the slider strip which has been silver coated with cheap paint and it's the cheap black plastic under neath and looked quite faded.
I don't know about long term use as I just had mine a week but I found it cheap and faded at first never mind later. Be careful of the 12mp sticker as my W995 wore off and it's the same kind.

Build quality is very good and i can say it was one of the bests i ever had and had a lot of phones too. It only got 1problem : The screen can easily get scratchs.
It doesnt feel so solid compared to omnia hd but if feels better in the hand due to size and weight
