Only the bottom keys are some times squeaky when I'm typing rather quickly. Another thing that irks me is the send button feels loose and when you lightly rub back and forth on it, you can hear it squish squish like it's about to fall off.

Also, the Enter Key and the Back key have the same problem but less pronounced.

yeap. that's my exact same noise i hear. Mine is on the send key however.

I don't worry too much because if it falls off, i'll just replace it under warranty.

I personally think that after sometime this squeaky noise will disappear because the glossy coating will wear off from use.

The gloss over the key's have nothing to do with this. It's whats underneath the keys that are making the noises.

My 'space' key makes a 'click' noise when I use it, but goes away after about the third word, then comes back when I haven't used it for a while. Just been ignoring it - D'oh!

[Jaybop]

Funny.. cuz my squeaky keys have pretty much left me. One day they all just.. stopped making noise. ::shrug::

[GQBalla]

hopefully my replacement pearl will have non squeaky keys.

I think like you, I'm from mexico and there is no sound in my 8100 :d

[inheritedhornet]

no squeak and i have no idea where my pearl was manufactured

[sumwon12001]

oh, i'm so glad this just isn't me. my '4' button makes a clicking noise (not sure if that is the squeaking noise referred to as well) too. at first i thought it was b/c i spilled water on the keys while applying the BSE skin, but good (i guess) to know that it was already like that.

Hi mate, I have a 1 month old Pearl and the space key is squeaking already..... Feels like it is sticking and not returning to position properly.... otherwise, what a fantastic phone.
