"Good for looks. Lacks quality I expect from Sony Ericsson."
Pros: Fantastic looking phone. Catches everyone's eye.
Cons: Every key cracked within 4 weeks. I have some sort of short.
Summary: This is my 5th Sony Ericsson and I have to say that this one has been a disappointment to me.
From my regular use, every key has cracked in the middle. I believe this is a design flaw. The keys are probably over twice as long as they are high, made of some hard plastic-like material. From what I can tell, there is only one support/sensor under each key, this support is placed in the center of the key which is right where every crack is.
The short causes the lights on the side of the phone to be odd colors, for example, right now the light on the right side of the phone is a light blue while the one on the left is a deep purple. I also occasionally have extremes of dark green and dark red.
