new phone screen

[Matt 16v]

anyone know where i can get a new screen fitted for my samsung D900, its cracked from one side to the other..i've only had it for a few weeks too...i took it round some places in central london on saturday but they all quoted £85+ and that was after lots of haggling, £85 sounds way too much to me, they see its a brand new phone and they think i'll pay loads...they are mistaken!!

so any good places around the midlands or london i can get one done cheap??

can i do it myself??

buy phone insurance and claim off it?

Its a problem with the phone. Have a search on google about it and look at http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?i=138117&thread=180&page=1

My girlfriend has the same phone and the screen cracked. Sent it off to Kuehne+Nagel Logistics (sp) on the advice of Samsung. They have had it since mid November but still not got it back. We're having to pay £70 to get it repaired, but they are having trouble getting parts apparently. Its a Samsung approved repair centre yet they can't get parts!! I keep kicking up a fuss but still no luck.

Let me know how you get on.

yeah Matt, i'll let you know, its very annoying

i thought it broke a bit easily, one minute it was fine, took it out of my pocket 10 mins later and there was a great big crack in it....thought it was just me being clumsy...also gonna give o2 an earful for selling me a phone with known problems

If ur on contract, phone up get insurance, leave it a week or 2, then claim on it

 

[thecremeegg]

Surely if its a fault witht he phone then samsung should pay for it if its only a few weeks old?
Or is it something about broken screens that means they dont?

 

[MattsClio]

Samsung won't accept liability for the screens breaking, even though it seems to be a common fault. However that doesn't come as a great surprise. It would cost them so much money if they had to pay for every D900 to have the screen replaced.
