Do It Yourself iphone screen repair
You can try to replace the screen yourself by getting the parts, tools, etc from third party vendors. There are several companies that provide iPhone repair services and the charges range from £150 to £250. I will list a couple of the ones I ran across:
1. INTELLIGY.BIZ – These guys will do a LCD screen replacement for around £125, which is not a bad price. They have a 30 day warranty on all parts and repairs. This is a good deal because you send it to them and let them do the actual hard work.
2.MobilePhone-Repairs – With this company, you can order all the necessary parts and then replace the screen yourself. You can either buy the entire replacement kit, which costs £180 for the iPhone 3G or just buy the replacement LCD or replacement Touch Panel for $50 and $40, respectively.
3. Dr Cell Phone – These guys will replace a cracked screen for $100. If the screen is cracked and the inner LCD is broken also, then it will cost $200. They also have a whole bunch of other services for the iPhone 3G, including repairing the Home button, replacing the microphone, replacing the battery, etc.
If you are really tech savvy and know how to fix things yourself, you can go to YouTube and watch videos of people who have repaired their phones themselves! However, I would only recommend this solution if you REALLY know what you are doing.

Both of these videos are actually from the second company mentioned above, PDAParts.
DIY iPhone Screen Replacement
These are really all of the ways you can go about getting your screen fixed. Unfortunately, there is no easy or cheap way, unless you get super lucky at your local Apple store.
If you live in a big city, it might be worth trying to go to 3 or 4 different Apple stores and crying your eyes out when you get there! Enjoy!

Malaysia warns of jail for text-messaging behind the wheel
Malaysia warns of jail for text-messaging behind the wheel
Malaysian motorists who read or send SMS text messages while behind the wheel face going to jail, authorities warned in a report Wednesday, saying texting is more dangerous than talking on the phone. Malaysia’s Road Transport Department last year nabbed 600 motorists for using text messaging services and is setting its sights on catching more, according to the New Straits Times. “Using the SMS while driving is more dangerous than talking on the handphone. You would have to concentrate on the message being sent. How can you keep your eyes on the road while doing this?” the department’s enforcement director Solah Mat Hassan was quoted as saying

Brits Naive about Mobile Phone Security
Over four million people in the UK keep highly sensitive identity data stored unsecured on their mobile handset, according to research by Credant Technologies.
One in six (16%) of those surveyed were found to store bank account details on their mobile phones, whilst almost a quarter (24%) keep passwords and pin codes on their handsets.
One in ten use their phone to store credit card details, and a similar number (11%) store their social security and inland revenue information.
In total, 80% of mobile phone users keep data on their handsets that could be used to steal their identity if their phone got into the wrong hands.
Meanwhile, four in ten of those polled said they have no password protection on their mobile device.
Sensitive business data could also be found on many handsets, with 99% of those surveyed using their mobile for work despite 26% being instructed not to do so.
Three quarters (77%) keep business names and addresses on their phone, three in ten use their handset as a business diary, whilst a third (35%) use their phone to send and receive business emails.
Paul Huntingdon, public sector director at Credant, said: “Once you have access to someone’s emails, passwords, birthdays, business diary, documents, children’s names and pets you can easily masquerade as that person.
“People are ignorant to how easy a professional thief could take over their life and effectively destroy it.”

Cracked or Broken Lcd Screens
I am always asked about cracked Lcd Screens.
More and more mobile phones these days
Recently, the market has seen a rapid increase in the upgrading and diversification of functions for portable devices, creating demand for more information display on screens.
According to ABI Research, because LCD is a mature technology, it has a cost advantage that ensures its future as the primary display technology for some time to come. However, despite the face that LCD displays have improved greatly over the years, their performance still falls short in such areas as power consumption and readability in bright light conditions.
Among the “LCD challengers,” ABI identified few technologies:
* Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs), which they found to be among leading contenders because of the maturity of development and existing use in other devices such as TV sets.
* Then, there’s Qualcomm (NSDQ: QCOM)’s micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based “mirasol” display that is finding its first role in secondary screens found on clamshell handsets. During this year, Qualcomm will open a dedicated mirasol display factory in Taiwan.
Wherever they are made and by whichever company they are and will always be prone to water damage, being sat on, dropped and cracked e.t.c
repairing these screens could be undertaken by a hadline diy'er for around £25 but why bother when you can get it done professional by a dedicated mobile phone repair company such as Mobilephone-repairs.com ?
the question needs answering especially as diy brings the risk that you may do more harm than good to your phone ...just one slip of that screwdriver....and bye bye phone!
