    I found an ad in the echo last nite for a place in the Tramore rd. I called them today and its €25 (which I think is alot)

    Anyway I was told there is nowhere that can do sony ericson at the moment- something to do with software so I'll have to wait a while to get it sorted :(

    Polish guy on Patricks Quay few doors down from the Vic doing it for a reasonable price , have used before. The price of course depends on the model of the phone , don't be afraid to haggle.

    The above that I mentioned does yes , but realistically if you were to save a bit of bob for yourself , buy the screen online and do a DIY , plenty of tutorials online :)

    Yeah did a bit of checking around 24 sterling for the glass and youtube have plenty on it fairly straightforward.

    Be careful where u go because I got my phone unlocked before and they messed it up :(
    Someone told me before that your network provider can do it. It would be worth a trip to a Vodafone shop to ask them.
