£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.

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.

It was just was an indicator of the real factory price of the phone.
In UK p4u sell it for £90 sim-free: http://www.phones4u.co.uk/basket?CID=Affiliate_63862

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.
