Getting the aluminium casing off proved to be more difficult, as I wasn't able to lift it enough to fit a credit card between the cover and the main body. I ordered these opening tools

I don't really have any experience fixing phones (or anything else for that matter), but I recon repairing the button should be one of the easiest things to repair on the phone. If anyone else has repaired anything on their phone or even opened it, I would really appreciate comments on if it's worth the risk or if the repair can even be done. I just bought a good plastic case for the phone and maybe I'll just have to live with the broken button and use hope the case will protect it from further damage (I really should not be dropping it in the first place)..
On a side note, when I dropped the phone the ... vibrating thing... (English is not my first language) didn't work anymore. I switched it off for a couple of days and now it seems to have sprung to life again. Weird..
I have the same problem, its getting very annoying. I listen to music at work and this darn thing is about to get me fired cuz it keeps pissing me off so bad. If you find a way to resolve this issue. please let me know
