    £83 at SimplyElectronics, so I don't see how £89 is 'subsidised'

    SimplyElectronics is grey Hong Kong stock, so add import vat and handling and no warranty, IF it arrives with their reputation, even on MSE.
    SimplyElectronics Limited
    Unit 7, 8th floor
    682 Castle Peak Road
    Kowloon, kowloon HONG KONG
    HK

    Domain name: SIMPLYELECTRONICS.NET

    Check the sim free price at a UK dealer like CPW, [STRIKE]it's probably around £120-130 sim free (I haven't checked, it's an educated guess).
    [/STRIKE]
    Decided not to be lazy and checked, it's £110 sim free price at CPW, £130 sim free from Argos and £120 sim free at Tesco Direct.

    Are you talking about the phone price? I am talking about just the screen. The screen repair including screen was £89 not the whole phone.

    Only the phone price can be subsidised, not the repair price.
