it is insured through my house insurance, but you cant get hold of a 3g now as they dont sell them, only the 3gs at £380, or ot would cost £300 for an iphone 4, what do you think the insuance will do?

I would suspect they would cover the cost of replacing it less any excess so you might end up with a choice...

that is easily fixable for about 20 quid if they let you hang onto it.

if you have new for old on your insurance then i assume they will get the iphone 4 for you. however it's no secret iphone claims go through the roof when a new iphone is released so don't be surprised if they give you a hard time on this thanks to the ones wrongfully claiming.

cheers

£20?? its cracked the screen, including lcd in the corner, all the back is knackered, the home button doesnt work,

All the bits you need, plus FREE SHIPPING!!!
I have used them before, they take about two weeks to get to you.

[challis349]

do you know if you have to solder the joins together, or is it more, plug the parts together?

[Airwolfie]

I really have no idea mate, I bought other things on that site, but saw these bits and bookmarked it incase something would happen to mine!!! I would imagine them being plugs mostly, to increase speed of assembly in the factory, but I could be wrong!! :confused:

[challis349]

bloody hell, need lcn screen, plus top glass part, screen mount as thats broke, reasr case as thats broke, home button, plus sensor, middle mounting part, and if i do it i'll put a new battery in at the same time,. be bout £120 dunno about that yet, see what the insurance say 2mro

[Airwolfie]

Well, they go for £120 to £190 on epay, but they are 2nd hand. If you replace front and rear, it will be like new, so you might get a bit more for it, that is IF you were to sell it. Your insurance company might sort you out with a new one, and then you will have a spare!! Fingers crossed they do, bet you pay them enough every month!! Just send them these pics, that I'm sure will convince them!!

Keep us posted!:)

[challis349]

i sure will, will be on the phone to them straight away in the morning, off a 6 year old nokia :ack2:
