E650 - screen replacement

[Guest flippy]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if it's ever financially prudent to get a screen replaced. I dropped my E650 on Friday and the screen has broken, and it's not insured. Orange want 70 quid for a replacement phone, or 30 quid plus a commitment to join their insurance scheme.

I've had a quick google, but not found anyone offering prices on screen replacements for the Vox, specifically, so I have no idea of the price!

Does anyone have any experience with screen replacement, and can they recommend anyone to do the work?

I'm thinking that instead of spending 70 quid on the replacement, I might just upgrade to a Kaiser or something, and consider it a discount ;)

its not Vox specific but wifey managed to drop a plastic plate onto her Samsung U600 and Carphone Warehouse replaced the screen for £45. did it in a day too!! if you have a local service centre close by (check out their webbie, i guess) its probably worth a chat with their tech kids...

be interested to know if the screen is common to other devices....
