My daughter is devastated.

She dropped her beloved Lumia 950 and broke the screen over the summer holidays. I investigated repair at local shops, who want more than £200 to replace the screen. I am not tight, but the young oicks replacing it don't look very capable and any warranty claim in a months time would be greeted by

We gave it to Vodafone to repair at my cost, who after 25 days returned it as un repairable - she is now in floods of tears.

By any chance - has anyone got a Lumia 950 or 950 XL that they would sell.

Although these are quite old now, new 950 and 950xl are selling for massive money on Ebay.in used condition. I am worried about what SW is running on a second hand unit.

If anyone has one in great condition please get in touch.

Used from 189 on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Lumia-inch-SIM-...

I wouldn't worry about a second hand one as you can flash the factory firmware by using the official Microsoft tool https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12379/win...

I think my wife's old one is kicking around somewhere but would want 250-300 for it as it wasn't cheap to start with.

iPhone? This is a dirty word in the Singh household!

EnviroPhone have a few at about £190. I will use the advice above to re-flash the SW.

Still keen to hear from anyone here who might have one.....

I've got a Lumia 930, would definitely view an iPhone as a downgrade .... (although I'd be happier with the range of apps available)

They're ridiculously rare things; if I saw a 950 in the local CEX I'd jump for it, they're only around £120-£150. Wish I'd picked one up on contract when they were new, staff discounts would have meant I would have got it for half price.
