Where can i get one of these in the uk? - Ebay links anyone??

Not a bad looking rip off in all honesty, it is however running a really old version of android and you can see the screen flex to a certain degree when she unlocks the device, but not too bad.
Why would you want one of these anyways?

[Q] xperia arc replacement housings?

hi all,
just joined up as im about to buy a xperia arc after a long think of what phone to get.
the only thing i dont like so far with the arc is the colours, the silver or dark blue. what i would like to know is, is there any replacement or alternative coloured housings for the arc? i would like white (like the new arc s ) looked on ebay and all i found are the odd one or two official houses and cases.
any help would be grand, if not i guess ill have to wait for the new arc s to come out on contract (anyone know if tmobile will be getting this?)
thanks all
chris
when you sufer the " arc Crack Housing" you may ask for a new housing by warranty with another color .
I have the crack in the housing aswell but i don't care, I need white replacement kit for my arc to look more beautiful, is there any website that can provide me that?
I searched like everywhere but i can't find any, including all the tools to do it myself.
Tho even without tools would be gratefull, i can get it to a friend that has em to do it for me.
You have to ask Sony Ericsson service, they told me they can change my housing to Pure White from arc S if I pay, I don't know how much yet.
Please report back when you know the price
I would like to know where I can find one too. My Arc will be reborn after the change.

Does anyone have the price for the original a replacement kit?

I've been asking around about changing the casing for my Arc blue/black to a white casing (from Arc S)... There's just 1 problem: as soon as you unscrew your original casing, special clearpaint on the screw's is damaged, therefore voiding your waranty.... Haven't checked yet with SE Service Center if it's possible to send it to them to change the casing....... Anyone asked yet..?

about 100 euro is new original housing for xperia neo, that they tell for my girlfriend neo.
So arc is even more expensive.
Ask them, if you open and replace by your self you will automaticly loose warranty.
Very much eager to get a new casing for my lovely Arc S!
No way to get one very soon!!
There is no official SE Servicing center in our country & that's the most irritating reason for not being able to buy a new casing for my Arc s!
I wish I could have the White ones for mine!
This is a very old thread, chances are that all of them have a new phone already

ok thanks but that doesnt fully answer my question. i dont really care bout color i just want to know what housing can i get for r800a.
I didn't know there were special housing offers to Xperia Play owners... wonder what it's like to live in an Xperia Play community.

I think what he meant is that they're all the same. I'm almost certain of this, but not entirely sure. So you'll just find different colors, for instance I got my phone through AT&T (r800at), so it's blue!
EDIT: For reference, I believe the r800i is the International version, r800a is the north American version, r800at is the AT&T version, and r800x is the Verizon version. Maybe some of these might be used by other carriers as well, but I think that mostly sums it up. And as far as I know, they all have the same housing. I'm actually not sure what the Z1i is though... just be sure you're not getting a bigger cover for the extended batteries (which make your Play bigger), unless you are getting an extended battery! (for example, extended battery: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson-Extended-Capacity-Replacement/dp/B005OPHNBA = not unless you want your Play bigger)

Z1i is just another name for the phone, dimensions stay the same for the different versions.
They are indeed the same.

Make sure you transfer the components from the old housing to the new one.

[Q] New phone to buy?

So I've got the chance to sell my Play and to buy a new phone, is it worth?
I can only buy phones up to 300€, I'm thinking about an Arc S but then going from outdated to outdated isn't that good plus I can't use touchscreen gaming controls... There's also Nexus S has an option but I think the Arc S camera and design is the most appealing thing for me. What do you think?
Galaxy Nexus?
Edit: Look Here: http://www.grandemarca.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=152_153&product_id=28029
Already ordered from that website, you can trust it.

That's the one I'd like most but it costs way more and I'm really on low budget
Edit: that isn't too expensive, can I really trust it? You're keeping your Play right? We need your awesome developments in here!

Yeah I'll never sell my play, I ordered a Akai turntable from there, arrived home 2 days after!
If the Xplay hadn't existed, or I had enough moneyto have two phones, I'd buy a Galaxy Nexus, especially because it's the lastest official phone from Google and it's the first one to get Jelly Bean, the best mobile os ever.
If you are really poor, just consider buying a Huawei one, I've heard they are cheap.

I'm not "really poor" and I'm happy with XPlay but I wanted a phone with more updated software and specs and since I bought Play this year it's hard for me to buy another phone.

[Q] Should i trade my Nokia N9 for a one x with a messed up LCD?

I sold my htc amaze a few months ago to buy the n9 and im getting tired of not having any app selections (it was cool at first), and the one x looks pretty sick. found someone on craigslist that is willing to trade but he dropped the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. he has a new digitizer for it but not an LCD. They aren't too expensive on ebay (found one for like $40). he said the phone turns on and everything works (capacitive buttons, sound, etc). The thing im worried about is if it has water damage, is there any way to find out? and if not do you guys think its worth it?
thanks
edit: nevermind did more searching on the water damage indicator and found it. still would like to know your opinions/advice though
A screen repair requires the digitiser and LCD. Just do a search for broken screen threads here.

thanks for your reply. yeah ive watched a few videos on it but since they are selling the LCDs on ebay separated from the digitizer I figured you could replace it itself..
edit: im reading on other threads that they are two separate units? some people are saying they are on unit and others are saying the opposite. starting to wonder if its worth it..

Official ones come as one unit and cost more. It'll cost about 150 UK pounds for official repair. Factor that into your cost, and the fact that it's second hand, and the fact you can't test it properly... Is it worth it? I doubt it, but a working One X is an incredible device.

this is what im looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LCD-DIS...930?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c7451912 you don't think this would be real? it also has 30 days money back so if it isn't the real deal..
Don't do it, go for a proper second hand device a fully working one, better to have the original screen as it's a lovely screen.

thank you, ill take your advice. it seems not many people are interested in the n9 as much as I thought they would.
It always feels good to have a new device which is fresh and you are much sure that it doesn't have a defect or something, if you're are looking for some advice, well for me, i will personally tell you that go and just buy a new one ( Fresh like Dougie )

Nop brother, even after a long time of its release, accessories such as back cover, matte screen guard isnt available everywhere. But if u search sensibly u can find them in places like nehru place
If u still cant find, its better to go online, u will find a lot of accessories online.
Hope it helps

i hav still not bought i m planning to buy it i heard that the accecsorie r nt available easily bocz its not a good seller....is this phone worth 25k?
The phone is totally worth its price, and at 25k, its a steal.
the reason behind the phone not selling well is Sony's (awkward) policy, the company decided not to promote it much, because they feared it cud eat into sales of their flagship xperia Z.
Although in my opinion, if u really want waterproofing, buy xperia Z, otherwise go with xperia ZL.
U will never regret buying it. I love my phone.

bcoz n5 is availabe for 29k in india for difference of 4 thousand i m getting one of the best processor still is it worth? compared to n5
It totally depnds on your personal taste now. If u want stock android, want fastest updates, and all that processing power, go for nexus 5. But if u want a better camera, a bit different and a classy ui(IMO), expandable memory, and the most compact full HD 5incher, go for xperia ZL. Either way, u wont regret ur decision.
Best wishes, hope this helps.
