Default 4 front buttons - build quality?

Hey all,

I've had my Legend just over 6 days now, must say the handset is very solid and built very well.

Only reservations are around the four front black buttons...

All Legends I saw in the shop had obviously been subject to lots of prodding from potential customers and all 4 buttons [ok ok there are 3 actual/physical buttons] lost their solid 'click' feel and had worked their way loose.

I'm posting because my HOME button seems to have worked its way a tiny tiny bit loose. Not enough to send it back or anything, but now, if I tap it with my finger, there is slight movement, it rocks side to side and can now hear a little clicky sound ...without actually pressing the button....this is after 6 days .

Anyone else experienced similar issues?

Should it be ignored or we should demand a replacement

Bump for this. I've noticed my HOME button has worked that little bit looser. Again.

Not fantastic for such a 'well built' device after just 3.5 months ownership.

Anyone else?

Same. I noticed it when I got it. Hasnt really got any worse and I don't think it will break but it has like a dead 'rock' to it

Yupp. Menu feels solid only on one side of the button.

Same. It's just not as 'tight' as it should be.

Yeah these buttons are the major flaw of the Legend.. if it had capacitive buttons it would be amazing
