Mobile Phone refurbishment?

Hello.

I have a SE k610i. It's still functioning OK,but the fascia is a bit worn,paint peeling,scratches etc. I have found this website www.mobilephonerepairs.co.uk who apparently can replace the fascia quite reasonably. I just wondered if anyone has had any dealings with them and wether they are good/not good? Or if anyone can recommend any other company which does phone repairs/refurbs?

Thanks,

Wolfman.

    its pretty easy to change the facias on sony ericssons. i can change a k750i's facia in about 2 mins, you just need to undo about 4 screws (on a k750i, not sure about the k610i).

    you can find a grey housing here.

    you can find a guide on how to open up the v630i/k618i here. it should be the same for the k610i
