3000 text a month.......are you living in the text capital?

maybe not, i know someone who can send 1000 sms in 2 days.

I'm living on the texting capital lol! I text more than 1000+ texts per day. That's because call here is expensive while text is very cheap and has many unlimited plans.

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

blue arrow key is the only key wearing on mine too. I often hold it with my nails which could be causing the wear.
how would I replace it if it came to that?

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

Tell me about it. :D

Anyways owned the device since the first day it was available(something like 12th of December?) and i have used virtual keyboard once(really), plus i write daily using N900.... example this post. :)

In that sense i'm very surprised that there is any wearing and that it haven't happened to me yet.

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

is there any made in china N900s?

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

Mine are holding up amazingly well. They still look like new.

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

i havent noticed a single weardown of any of the mentioned things in this thread. its still in mint condition.

however, one scary thing i noticed the first days while using the N900:

the N900 stylus/pen scratched the screen... ive used touchscreen phones for 7 years and have never managed to scratch the screen of any of those phones with their pencils.

i thought that maybe the pen is defect and have some sharp edges, so i rotated it a little, and still the same... i got one really serious scratch and one and a couple of smaller ones by using the pen - and i never use excessive force.

anyway, i bought a screen protector and now the problem is completly gone :)

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

please those with problems:
check if your keyboard does have a matte or glossy finish.
please check when it was made and from where you got it.

those without problems: the same.

my n900 without any kind of problems:

preordered in september 2009 from Nokia Germany website.
got it late November or December (can't remember anymore)
made in Korea, shipped via netherlands.
matte keyboard finish.

But I have bit too long fingernails and quite often i type with nails :| It´s rather stupid because its faster to type with finger tips. I do not know why i have sometimes do that...maybe orientation of my hands while keeping n900 on both hands makes me type with nails..

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

Wtf!
Mine are also as good as new, but yours look dramatically worn out.
I don't want to come anywhere near your fingernails then :P
