well :D im glad too that there are more people from our region here :) well,when your phone is working well with that FW than leave it..my situation is a bit sticky,cuz my k850 seems to be seriously damaged,i cant get it to charge the battery,but im pretty sure that the battery and the charger are ok..thinking that it could be an erom damage,but no way to repair it for free,and paid services are no help because the payments are nearly imposible from my country..but never mind.. :) im sure that your keypad problem is the same as mine,and to repair it shouldnt take more than 20 euros..the phone is great,i personaly like its design,and offcourse the features like camera etc. but sony ericsson didnt manage it to make the phone pretty stable if you ask me :D they could really take some more time to make it better..hope u get your fixed soon,ill give my best to get mine to work,cause i really love that phone.. :) pozz druze
