The first thing that happened when I got my N900 last December (build code 48/2010) was the blue coating on the Shift key departed for points unknown. I've noticed some of the other keys are beginning to display signs of use.

After the warranty expires I'm picking up a couple of new keypads for back up. I'm considering applying, pre-installation, a layer of automotive clearcoat to protect the finish on the keys. I will not know until I try it if the clearcoat will have the flexibility required. My big fear is that the clearcoat will adhere to the printing on the keys better than the printing on the keys adheres to the keys and then the clear coat will flake off taking all the printing with it.

There are some excellent videos on the Internet showing how to disassemble the N900. It looks like something I'd be able to do without breaking it.
