i had a button stuck down (the red button). i got it un-stuck (also ripped the button off in the process- lame). but it works and didn't feel like getting a used phone when mine is like 30 days old.

Yes my Send key was stuck down, Verizon replaced original unit with a new unit since I was in my 30 day return policy. Keys seem ok now, thing is I never really used the Send key, but noticed one day it was stuck down. I purchased mine online and during the holiday period so I believe I have 60 day return policy due to the holiday promotion.

I've had 4 Imagios so far... all of them with stuck keys. If it happens again I'm going to have to jump ship.

Just got my replacement today. Phone 1 had a bad light gap so I had it replaced. Phone 2 also had a light gap, but not as bad. worked for 3 weeks then end key broke and got stuck down. The new phone had no gap. Buttons are tight almost no light leak at all.

I'm going to try a different style case that won't allow the buttons to get pressed. We'll see, but I'm a bit skeptical.

It's too bad about the button issues, since the rest of the phone rocks.

Haven't had the problem with my Imagio, yet, at least. But I did have similar problems with my Vogue back in the day... The buttons one day just kinda lost the "crisp" feeling and I wasn't sure whether or not I pressed them, so I'd have to keep hitting them until I saw the screen change. Frustrating.

Guys, I would suggest SPB backup. That's what I use. If you have to keep changing out phones, this makes it absolutely painless as far as getting your new phone set up. You'll be restored and up and running in 5 minutes with a phone just like your original. Just put your SD card in the new phone, go to file explorer and click on the backup file and follow instructions (like 3 clicks). It works great. I'm not afraid to screw up my phone with trying stuff on the board now. I would up restoring times the one day when I was getting brave..... just a thought. It cost me $20 bucks and it was the best $20 I spent.

My send key is stuck, and I'm curious how you went about fixing it? (my button about to be ripped off too)

I fixed my stuck button! Pretty much I ripped the button off, you'll see this clear circular spring gel kind of thing that goes over the hardware button on the board offsetted. All I did was used a pocket knife to recenter the clear piece, and used doublesided tape to tape the button back on. problem solved.

I had the same stuck windows key issue, I bought my phone on black friday ( great deal, paid 200 and received 100 dollar rebate check) 3 weeks later I'm stuck with a certified used and a slight light gap, on the buttons, apparently given the frequency of this issue it wont be long until it happens again
