    So I was using my phone the other day with gloves when i dropped my phone. It was at this point I realised that it is actually a curse to be able to use gloves - gloves dont have as much grip as your fingers!

    Anyway, a drop from 3/4 feet has resulted in a cracked screen, an usable phone, and a very unhappy customer. My question is, does anyone have any experience of charges for such things? My options are to either send it to Nokia and get a quote, or send it to Tesco (my network provider) for a quote. Just wondered if anyone had experience of one being more expensive than the other?

    Cheers!

    If you got it from TESCO, they would have had an £8/mth insurance policy... See what they say

    Unfortunately you can only take insurance out with Tesco at the time you purchase the phone. Really wish I had.

    Cheers for the info Tom, I rang Nokia care for a quote - they said they couldnt give me an accurate quote because they didn't have the replacement screens in stock yet, but said it would roughly cost between £150-200! Outrageous.

    I will send back to Tesco and hope they repair for the same cost as yours!

    You had better send the broken phone to Nokia, and my Lumia 820 cost me about $ 80 to fix, i think the replacement screen is a little expensive although it owns a good quality.

    Can you claim for it on your home insurance?
