Hi all!

I recently flashed my S500i to a W580i and because the S500i and W580i are exactly the same size etc. I decided to see if I could fit a W580i housing on my S500i.
I think that the W580i looks better and I like the walkman keypad.
So I bought a W580i orange/black housing on Ebay and tried to put it on my S500i.
The result is below, it fits perfectly! 8-)

Two days after I installed Guitar Hero on mine the 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 broke, braking keys is the major probem of the S500i.
The keypad I have now is not a OEM keypad, I wonder if these keys stay intact.. Well, it can't be worse than the OEM anyway. ;)

Repair time here is also at least two weeks.
And when you get it back they are broken again within a week..
And because they are still functional when they crack, nobody wants to send his phone for repair, well, I wouldnt. ;)

They replaced it with a new one for ~$20. It's working now, I don't know how long it will though. :S It got worn out in 7 months.

Here's a complete guide (with nice pictures etc.) on howto completely take apart a S500i, at your own risk of course! ;)
It might be usefull sometime.

Thanks!

The complete package was US $18,99, shipping from HongKong was US $6,99.
So I got it for a total of US $25,98! 8-)

Lol, I didnt like it neither, my S500i was about 3 weeks old. ;)
But it really isnt that hard, you can find alot of movies on youtube about it, you could basicly open it with your nail and nothing more.
But I was really happy when it was done, and I found out that I didnt mess anything up! :mrgreen:
