Why so many selling SE W580i?

[TimePilot]

Why are so many people selling thier SE W580i in the BST?

Is there a fatal flaw in the phone? I've been reading cracked keys for example or some other reason?

it was a pretty popular phone back then...
and i believe it was one of those free contract phones that everybody got...
its kinda like when the razr when out of fashion
same for this phone i believe...

Yeah. It was "the phone" back then when it was released and Rogers were offering them as $0 phones on a 3 yr contract or so.

Like what aznangel said the razr was "the phone" when it came out, and then it died. lol

So i guess the w580 is dying too!

-cracked/sticky keys
-voice quality not as good as other SE models (too much bass, voice starts breaking up after a while)
-voice reception not as good as other SE models
-very popular phone because it looked good
