Sony Ericsson W580 / S500
Shoddy construction?
I've been waiting for this phone to come from AT&T for quite awhile (I wish they had the s500 'cause my favorite color is green! 😁 Oh, well).
Now that it's here, I've read reviews here with complaints about minor things--hard to remove the SIM card, difficult battery cover, etc. However, I just read several reviews at another site about keys that crack and covers that peel away. 😲 Do these claims sound valid? Any thoughts or experiences?
I love SE, but I also want my phone to survive in my pocket.

These claims are VERY valid! I am an owner & have a cracked #4 & #6. Make it ugly. Supposedly you can call on your manufacturer warr, but dont hold your breath. I have heard of several people not getting it fixed or having a new keypad- just for them to break again.

where did you hear about the covers that peel i would like to kno more about this?

I've had my phone for about a month now. I take pretty good care of my electronic devices, but I don't treat them like glass either. Although none of my buttons have cracked, the slide mechanism seems to be a little looser ( a little too loose and is worrying me) and one corner is peeling.

Corner of what is peeling? It's a solid plastic phone. You sure you didn't forget to remove the screen protector it's shipped with?
