How widespread are the key cracking issues?

Any unscrupulous AT&T employees reading Engadget, know release dates for the Gray or Boulevard Black versions? My elig is up the 21'st and I want this phone, so very much in this color.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 6:00PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/sony-ericsson-announces-w580i-again/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/sony-ericsson-announces-w580i-again/
And yes, the cracked keys issue continues to pop up on the white phone (haven't really heard regarding the black). I've also heard the grey phones are suffering from bad sliders.

Personally, I'm shifting my attention to the T-Mobile Shadow]]>Oct 3rd 2007 8:32PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/sony-ericsson-announces-w580i-again/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/sony-ericsson-announces-w580i-again/
If AT&T doesn't have the Black W580i, by the time I'm eligable for a new phone, them I'm just gonna go down on my list to my second and third options. I do not want the gray or white colors of the W580i, so next up would be the SGH-A717 or the upcoming SGH-A737 slider, both from Samsung. I don't want a Smartphone, because they're too bulky for a phone. Even if the iPhone was cheap and allowed 3rd party apps, I still wouldn't get it... It's too big. (And I refuse to use iTunes)

For me it's ultimately coming down to: The Sony name OR the Windows Media DRM 10 Subscription Support offered by Samsung.

I have a PSP, Mylo, two Walkmans and a VAIO AND two Location Free Boxes so I'd like to continue my Sony only investment portfolio. Well and 157 Sony CONNECT purchases that are going up in smoke in March and were never compatible with anything Sony Ericsson ever shipped, cept maybe in Japan.

Sony Ericsson never released an online store for use with their handsets. Though they were going to work with CONNECT in 2005, the deal fell through because of "hardware issues & limitations" which is bull.]]>Oct 4th 2007 12:06AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/sony-ericsson-announces-w580i-again/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/sony-ericsson-announces-w580i-again/I use Windows Media Player 11 to synchronize the music on my W810i. It works better than SonicStage or SE Disc2phone. Your mobile should be the same.

Is Sony wasting money on R&D for this thing? Why, if Sony Ericsson says that, would Sony Electronics just have came out without another one, with HD capabilities?

I'd rather be a Sony whore than an Apple whore. Glad, someone else out there values Sony products as much as I. I need to go to SonyStyle again... I need an M2 Micro, but I may order it through SonyRewards.]]>Oct 4th 2007 2:28PM
