    The one above Carbon Nightclub has been the most popular recently, but there are at least nine places in town at the moment so others may be more competitive price wise.

    Seems like the one I mentioned are employing shills here so I no longer recommend them

    Dont go to fonez in corbett court whatever u do, i brought my phone to them after i got water in the charging connector and it stopped working and they fixed it no bother but i went to make a call and realised that they had broken mic in the process, so i brought it back into them saying that either they didnt reconnect the mic to the main pcb or they damaged it in the process of fixing it and could they fix it, they tried to tell me that it was corrosion damage because of the water and tried to charge me after waiting about 2 hours for the manage to actually come into the shop and an hour of arguing with him they decided to do it for a reduced amount rather then arguing i stupidly paid it
    then probably 6 months later i took the phone apart myself to fix the headphone jack and noticed that a considerable amount of screws were missing and the only people who had ever opened it before then were the fonez people

    Personally i always found them very pushy and over anxious to get business when you made a query.
    Much prefer the guys in Techstar,nice and friendly.

    I would just like to add to what Keyboard Cat posted above. Stay well clear of Fonez. Their customer service skills and deplorable. I brought my phone in to have the screen repaired and it was working perfectly besides. When I got it back the screen was repaired but it would not recognise any SIM. They tried at first to make out that it was like that before they got it. They were very rude and aggressive and fobbed me off for over a week finally saying that they would fix it. They contacted me to say the phone would be ready on a Saturday. I requested that they give me a report on what they did to the phone for my own records. They said it would be 5.30 before the report would be ready on the fixed phone. When I called in to collect the phone it wasn't fixed, it was all lies but they ended up having to give me a new phone. I've had a luck escape, but my advise is stay well clear.
