Basically, i got drunk monday night, and i dropped my phone, alot, i always do it, but i can't remeber exactly but it hit bricks, then a metal pole, then something else or something along them lines.
The bottom of the screen (LG viewty) had a vertical line of green, then like a semicircle of a scratch which glowed too. But if you touched it they changed colour.
The screen was always black and if i turned it on, the only three buttons at the bottom lit up, and so did the cracks.

I have no insurance on it though :(!
So i took it back o2 store and they took it off me, and in 7-14 working days they're giving me a quote
the woman said it would be very expensive.

D'ya think there is another way i could find someone to fix it? Or would i have to fork out tons of money to get it professionally done?

If you gotta fork out loads, isn't it worth just buying a new one?

no idea,
this was in the o2 store on highstreet where i took my phone for repair and on the wall it had all the phones and it said "handset only - £369.95"
and i was like :O!

this is off play.com which is always cheap, and i think maybe they were just overpricing or just havent took down the old price? dunno

Probably over pricing, people who don't shop around won't notice the difference and will just buy it anyway.

PLay.com is always good to me.

that means the screen is cracked doesnt it, which means itll cost a lot to repair cause its hard to do.

They sell it at £180 because you will probably have to buy a contract with it.

This is why you insure your phones. Especially when they're expensive. Like when mine got stolen, I would of been gouged if I didn't have insurance!!

T-Mobile wouldn't sell an LG Viewty at £180 without some kind of contract.
