  • They are prone for that so most people get them repaired under warranty but some say a good blow to get the dust out around the joystick sometimes works.
  • really mark.I didnt take out insurance with mine do you think im still entitled to repair with 02 online?

    Get it repaired under 12 months warranty.

    I had my Vodafone K750i replaced once due to dust in joystick (approx 5 months) and repaired again (again 5 months) due to dust.

    The new Sony Ericsson phones (K800i, V630i, etc) seem to have a better joystick, although only time will tell...
