    Last week i got a desire and today i dropped it and the screen ended up with about 10 cracks on it.

    The phone can still be used but i have to fix it.
    I have no insurance and Meteor are looking for €100 - €135 to fix it.

    Does anyone know of anywhere that will do it cheaper in Dublin?

    Any advice would be great.

    Cheers

    If you're confident you could try DIY.

    www.phonesonline.ie seem to sell replacement LCD screens for €75.

    wow, for the amount of work involved i would pay the 20 or 30eu difference for someone else to do it and get warranty etc.
    that would drive me bananas
