Well the title says it all!
Was going into a lecture when I bumped into the corner of a desk, I knew it had happened immediately, I took out my p800 and the screen was half black, half rainbow!
Best of all, it isnt insured! 
So now I have a totally useless phone!
Obviously my first thought is to get the screen replaced, about to go off to a SC now, does anyone no if theyll replace it and if so how much it'll cost?
I'm totally phoneless now and not happy at all!

I once did that, it cost me £150 inc.VAT
i got it repaired from SE @ Telford, give them a call and they shall fix it for ya, but nowadays it is possible to get a second hand P800 for that sort of price?
Sorry for the bad news!
However, If it is no good to ya and u don't wanna get it fixed there is one thing i can do for ya: -
I shall take the box, manuals and the cradle of you if it is no good to ya?
PM me if interested.
Thanks.

£150!! Thats how much the phone cost me sim free!
Theres no way I'm paying that!
My phone is still under warranty but I didnt think accidental damage was covered?
I'm going to go gove it a try anyway.
If I cant get it replaced, I'm going to either sell it to anyone who wants it for parts or sell any part of it to anyone who wants it! Have to try and claw some of that money back!
I'll post a pic of the crazy screen here later to show u all not what to do!
Off to SC now, hope it goes well!
Cheers,
Simon

Mate, I did this about three weeks ago. Cheapest option is to replace it yourself, get the screen from Global Mobility.com. They are in the US, but very quick. I got a screen and new mineral grey housing for total £130 inc shipping, arrived in under a week. Screen alone is $150, around £90.
There are videos on p800.it that show you how to strip the phone. Only need a t8 torx driver.
It's a bugger, but I couldn't think of a better option.
PS - your man is right - Fleet Comms in Greenwich, my nearest SC wanted £150. But they didn't have any screens in stock...

Just back from the Service Centre, as predicted its not covered under warranty and they said it would be between £75-£150 but it would prob be £150.
Think I'm going to cut my losses and sell it for parts and get a new phone.
I'll start a new thread about it soon, but if anyone is interested in any of the following pm me or reply here:
128mb Duo
16 Mb Duo
Cradle
Back Cover x2
Flip
Flip off Bevel
Antenna Cover
Box and Manuals
Styli x 2
Original Pouch
Any inwards - ie speaker, microphone, vibra, anything really
The case itself, still mint
Or if anyone wants to but the whole thing let me now.
I've taken the crazy pic, will post it soon.
Cheers,
Simon

Dont know about the p900, although the p800 was a quality phone didnt really love it.
It was too bulky and I'm not sure the touch screen really suited me.
Thinking about trying a Series 60 phone but none of the Nokias impress me.
Might give the SX1 a go looks a good phone to me.
Hopefully can get some cash together, only had the p800 a few months and gutted that its ruined!
Oh got the headphones as well and a Martin Fields Protector but it might come with parts of the screen!

You originally paid £150 for the P800? Brand new or second hand? |

@thebruce
It was second hand but in mint condition, got it in August.
@jenil7162
Had a look on ebay already, no joy
@BlackBauer24
I originally paid £90 for it so was hoping for around £60 for it. I'll check around and see what the going rate for it is and try to offer it a bit cheaper.
I'll post a full list of stuff for sale tomorrow along with the pic of the screen!
