Title above sums it up. In all my years of owning smartphones and being so careful, I have never once smashed a screen through dropping it. Until a few weeks ago. My poor baby fell on the bathroom floor and shattered to pieces. It was ruined.

After many hours of googling, I found that there seems to be NO repair companies in the UK who will replace the screen, and whilst the glass portion can be purchased for under £10 on ebay, its an absolute nightmare to fit.

So reluctantly I contacted Motorola for a repair. After about a week of emails I was told to send it off to Germany and they'll take a look and give me a quote. Fortunately I managed to convince them to cover the postage cost for me :victory: :victory:

So off he went to Germany (yeah, my phones a he!). After what seemed like a lovely holiday of about 10 days (combination of sending it right over the easter bank holiday, and apparently very un-stereotypical German inefficiency) I got my quote back.

OUCH! :crying::crying: €238,04 - Around £180

FOR A SCREEN. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY POUNDS...

Now I know its my own stupidity, and I can't complain because I'm the dumb idiot who dropped it in the first place, and didn't have a case on it. BUT WOW THATS MORE THAN I WAS EXPECTING.

Which gave me the dilemma of pay it, or sell off my old friend with a smashed screen and buy something else / one without a smashed screen.

I'm reluctantly agreeing to pay it, but I have just ordered a case and tempered glass protector. £30 protecting your phone screen is well worth it! Especially with this phone!
