N95 - Broken screen

I've just managed to break the screen on my N95 :mad: and being the ultra-careful, never-lose-a-phone idiot that I am I don't have insurance.

I've just spoken to Orange and they're quoting £100 to replace the screen, plus £15 admin fee plus £6 a month for Orange Care. Or a brand new handset at £300 :eek:

I've going to check if I'm covered on my home insurance (haven't had chance yet) but does anyone know if it's possible to replace the screen cheaper than this. Everything else on the phone seems to be working fine.

TIA

    Dude buy a screen of ebay and do it yourself, very very easy. Just remember to buy a GENUINE screen, and have a look online for guides of how to replace the screen.

    Cost you £35 max - and will void your warranty ofcourse.
  • Thanks. Just ordered one of th'internet (not eBay) and a T5 tool for £31.85.

    Should get it by the weekend.

    Cheers.
