    As a matter of interest, how much they charge you?

    first place said 120. Fixed in 40 mins and i will keep all data.

    Second place said an engineer will assess but it will not be near 150

    Fonemender said 150..2 days and all data wiped

    Can you not take the shit off it via pc then get it wiped?

    Fairly sure theres a backup option with the samsung software.

    Yeah there is but the only place that wants to wipe it is the one charging the most.

    Since were on the topic of busted screens. Seriously gave my ipod touch a makeover, whole screen is cracked.

    Any place in town or anything that can fix/replace the screen? And any price range? Cheers

    I got mine repaired by a guy in Santry, and would highly recommend him. I think it was about €30...
    I'll PM you his details if you like

    saintly. I'm told it would cost 120 to fix. Basically with Galaxy S the screen is not attached seperately like the iphone. He said you'd be better to wait till you break the screen (as opposed to just the glass) before getting it fixed. He gets the parts from Indoniesia so there would be a delay. He said that given that you dropped once you'll probably manage to drop it again !!
