C500 has a REALLY short life

[Guest The Undefeated]

Well after having the phone since 3 days after it was released the down button is starting to go. Oh well.

A couple of months ago my sisters down button went completely, could read the rest of her Texts. Oh well.

Another phone, the back button is almost completely gone, which is a pain.

Does everybody have these problems or is the batch of phones just faulty

And i almost forgot, sometimes even when the earphones are pluged in, the sound still comes out of the phone speaker (as well as the eraphones)

You must have used it too hard! I use the power button often and it's still going on strong after 6 months.

Black C500, 8 months old and no problems expect a scratch (where I dropped it onto a concrete floor!) and a few flecks of dust in the screen. Maybe it is the batch.

I've had my I-mate SP3 (SP3 and C500 are manufactured by the same company just rebadged according to the retailer) for 14 months and the only problem I've ever had is dust under the screen. All my buttons are goin strong and I use it a LOT!

I hope it stays this good tho ;)
