Sony Ericsson keypad problem solved

Remember the S500 keypad cracking problem I posted about a while back? Well, this problem has been officially recognized by Sony Ericsson. Their official explanation (from SE Germany) is that there is a chemical reaction between the green paint and the keypad material (plastic). This causes the keys to be easily broken. This is why the yellow version of the phone is not affected (no green paint). The issue is being resolved by SE. Also, apparently the affected S500's are made before week 27.
