I've had this phone for over three years now. It still works like it's brand new -battery and everything. This cannot be said for a lot of phones these days. So all is good, exept the rubbery thing on the cover has worn out some time ago, but after I replaced it with black paint, the whole thing actually looks cooler!

Had this phone for exactly 2 years. 1,5 weeks after the official warranty ended, the phone started to malfunction - half the keys didn't work. Brought it to the service and got an answer that there's a problem with the motherboard of the phone and it's beyond repairs. The phone basically works, but some number keys and Back key don't work, which makes the use of the phone more than uncomfortable. Try to enter your SIM-cards PIN-code when numbers 1 and 7 don't work and your PIN-code has both numbers. Don't wanto to walk around with a phone with an unlocked SIM-card either.
During the time when I had the phone, it was in warranty repairs for several times for two reasons: the phone switched itself off when it was flapped together and in the second year of usage, the rubber part peeled off. Eventually both problems were solved. I put a small piece of paper between the battery and phone to fix it in one position. After that the switching off problem didn't occur anymore. Before I thought of that solution, they updated the phone's software several times in the warranty service. Without any result.
The rubber part was replaced in warranty service and the replacement seems a lot harder and more durable. Using the buttons on the rubber part is also more comfortable, because it doesn't need to be pushed as hard as before.
My conclusion after using it for two years - great phone but with serious flaws. I really enjoyied the Walkman function (you won't find any better music player in any other phone than SE's W-series) and the menus-functions. But I'm really dissappointed in SE because of this phone failure.
By the way, the phone still looks as good as new - no scratches, no paint worn off etc. Hasn't fallen down or anything. Neither has it been exposed to water or moisture of any ways. So I really don't see my fault in the failure of the motherboard.
Don't know if I dare to buy another SonyEricsson phone anymore, since this one was quite expensive and I was hoping it will last for years...

> In reply to R @ 2009-05-26 15:42 from mfpfHi I have just the same problem. Rubber band is getting loose. My phone is 26m old (guarantee is out). Did your "glue attempt" help? I guess I have to do the same.

I've had this mobile for over 2 years now and my rubber is still on, it must be very diffrent from phone to phone (given a thought of how I take care of it ;o)) Left it outside in the grass for two weeks (in rain) and it still work! Love way you can change songs without even open the phone.
Amazing phone!!!

There is an app in the phone to count steps or km of jogging.
You attach the phone to your arm with a velcro band included.
Mine still has the rubber, no problem. since 2 years.
The only problem, I had to go under warranty, the phone would turn off any time just by small impacts, like closing the lid.
They replaced the unit and was fine since then.

> In reply to Briar Rose @ 2009-02-11 17:58 from U3Aythat auto-off is a problem in the desingn of this phone. the reason is that when you open the flap , the shock removes the battery from it's possition.So paste a piece of paper or somthing on the under part of the battery cover.this is the only solution.
