Yeah, a vase fell on it. AHH!!!! So, yeah, no insurance, too poor. She said she'd pay for the repairs, but I don't know where to begin. Is there a place online where I can get parts? It'* a Samsung T309.
Thanks!

Usually you can send it into Samsung and they have a flat fee for repairs. They can tell when a phone has water damage, usually when you remove the battery, there is a tiny pad that changes color (sometimes turns to pink) to signify there is water damage.
Samsung should also have a local manufactures rep.

When is your contract up?

A friend of mine had the same problem and bought a used one on ebay and just got it activated by the provider and found it was much cheaper in the long run.

Damnit that'* what i was going to post.

I know i could find full bodies for my Razr, i'm sure you just broke the outside case + "Lens" and nothing inside.. Ebay is a source for these, however some are imitations, some are OE. I'd suggest OE only.
