Friends, yesterday was a bad day for me, Somehow my N72 slipped from my hand and banged on the floor. everything is fine except Display, it shows no cracks, but nothing is there on it, yes light is still on, but you can't see anything.

I can make and receive call bt see nothing.

okay my point is, can anyone tell me how much this gonna cost to me.

shall i go for original or chiness?

ag_prasun

original one will cost you a hell lot..
go for local made!!!
and by local i mean indian local as well.every cheap local thing is not chinese man!!

my old 6600 screen showed rainbow colors after i banged it when ManU lost.i got ir replaced at a local store for 250.

Dragon

will indian local run smooth?

anyone got any idea about the price?

The original one is costing my 1800 INR

mickey

go and use a local one....


by the way , you can ask the mobile technician to pls make some hand on it, cause nokia phones are die hard....maybe some crystal liquid here and there....

by the way i had my old 2100 slipped from hand in water..those days the display was costly..he asked me to have a new one, i purchased a local one and it was running nicely..later on he replaced it with my older one cause it was working too...yes very honest man!!...

i saved some 500 Rs/- from this episode,...he took just 50 for service charge..

from that time i dont put mobile in the shirts pocket , cause it slips when you bend or try to take it out in no senses...

Well like they say original is better, but if you want to keep the phone for long and not looking to buy another one for some 1-2 years or so, then i think getting the original may be good!
But if you you think you will probably get a phone soon, then just get the local one!

Also find out what the disadvantages can be of getting the local one, i don't think there can be any! If it does go wrong just get another local, so getting locals ones twice would still be under Rs500!

Now thats what called Logic!!

gr8 post...
BTW where is Sapna??

ag_prasun

2100 has a small screen with very less colors.for n72, you will atleast save 2000 !!

the one disad of having a local screen is that it drains a bit more battery.but unless you are not in the habit of regular charging,you will never suffer for it!

Preeti_20

there we go Manish all the options are open now, you can decide according to your charging usage and money you want to spend and the time till your next mobile!

mickey

2100 is not sold anymore my dear friend...and its not with less colors its b/w

by the way who told you that local screeen takes much battery???

n72 is a power eater phone..and i think its not correct to blame the local scree for it..


manish bhai ..why did you slip the phone from hands if you wanted to buy a new one???
you could have sold this one, than bought another...

ag_prasun

we are still in 2009 and they stopped producing 2100!!
it is b/w... and still saved 500 !!! imagine a 256k 2.2" color screen !!

and i already said i got a local scren for my 6600,the old bulky model..
i could feel the difference when i didnt charge the phone for 2 days!!

mickey

local is best if he has slipped the phone on ground NO MISTAKE

Dragon

So any body got an idea how much A local display for N72 will cost to me?

Original one is around 1800, what about the local one?

cool_techie_tvm

One query. Was there any difference in the color reproduction quality of the phone screen when fitted with locally made displays. Besides i guess Chinese displays are only available in the market.

ag_prasun

there was no loss or degradation of color..
and you wouldnt believe how many local indian mobile companies have come up.simoco,geepee,to name a few are india based mobile companies that sell very cheap phones.their prices almost beat chinese mobile prices!!

cool_techie_tvm

Ok i had specifically asked so because vendors in here had given me options of fixing Chinese displays at exorbitant price. They quoted 1800/- for the original and 900/- for the Chinese display. My phone was an old SE k700i

ag_prasun

that is a bit too much i think.
my 6600 had a 65k color screen and was 2.2" in size.it cost me 450 back then.it should be cheaper now..

Dragon

guys aren't we going bit

okay okay, go where ever you want
but pls reply to my query too

Preeti_20

Ii don't have an exact answer, but i know my cousin had his replaced and to be honest i dont think it was more than Rs1000! Thought i would help by giving a rough idea, but not 100% sure!

powerdoc

If its a relatively new phone, go for original only..coz u'll be using it a lot more.
If its an old piece, local would do no harm :0
Must be around 500 rs.

Dragon

its about 2 year old.

Around 1000 bucks for the original one. Right?
