02 x3 Help!!

swiftyme · 25-05-2005, 15:26

Hi all, i have here an 02 x3, snapped in half! I was just wandering, does anybody know anywhere that sells or can get hold of the cable to connect the top half to the bottom half (the bottom works but the cable has snapped so the top doesn't)
Any help would be great
Thanks
David

I would contact O2 and ask their advice.

If you have insurance, claim on that as I suspect this will be pricey.

Take a look on Ebay for damaged X3 handsets and use the parts from that.

Your best of buying a new one, they are only 99.99 direct from o2 or get the x4 from o2 for 149.99. these are new not refurb

Just blag a free repair out of the X3 service centre.
I dropped my X1i and ballged a free repair, the sent the pre paid packaging the next day for the phone and it was back in less than a week.
I never even had proof of purchase.

Just a thought, could i buy any old flip camera phone similar, such as an 02 x1, or an x2.. and use the cable out of that?
