hello,
sorry for using your post, I have a E65 too.
I have to say that it is indeed a very good phone, has a great feel (in your hand), like no other I've ever had, it's stylish and so... but mine is getting a little scratched in the shiny frame around the keypad.
I realise it's because of the slider, the front cover "forces" a little the bottom of the frame, thus getting it a little scratched.
Well, but the phone isn't intended to last for 100 years without a scratch

just wears normally as any other phone would.
Hope this helps.
