What is it with 6610's and flickering keypads!?!

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

On my previous 6610 (which I had for 11 months) the keypad lights
started intermittently flickering during use quite a few months back
and one of my local nokia service centres replaced the keypad module
which solved the problem. I've now had a 6610i for a few weeks and its
now got a flickering keypad so will be off to the service centre soon!

bloody nokia!!!!

thanks for the info. I'll be taking it to my local service centre soon
hopefully. The 6610/6610i certainly are great phones and I find it
perfect for my needs as i don't need all the topnotch things on phones
these days!!
