deadlyllama: Any suggestions of places in Wellington? My android developer phone got its screen cracked while I was in Manila. Went to MobileFoneRepair only to discover that the Wellington shop no longer exists :-(

no longer exists? WTF! First I've heard.

Have you called their main office to find out for sure? They might have moved.

I find it hard to believe, that the licenced Vodafone Repair company has closed down one of their stores.

point for customer.

Hmm, thats interesting.

Ahh yeah, NEXT Electronics sounds about right.

Thats bizzare, they must be really feeling a pinch then, because they used to have three main centers.
AUckland, Wellington, Christchurch (from memory).

Its a shame too, because if you were able to go in off the street, then usually they look at it and give you a diagnosis within 40 minutes (at least thats my experience with the Auckland branch) but when I sent my mobile in. It was like snail pace.

I repair my own phones. getting spare parts can be hard but I often buy another phone examtly same model for parts. If lucky I may be able to fix both and sell the other. Now I have a Jasjam to type this.

My gadgets:
NEC Versa S3200 Laptop running Linux Mint 9 and Win XP

3x I-mate Jasjam, one running WM6.1 and others WM5.1, all working with VF and Telecom XT
Canon Powershot SX120 Digital camera
Various old phones like Nokia 6310, Nokia 6610 and ancient Nokia 1610, all with carkits.
Greenspeed Gto recumbent trike with Rohloff 14 speed Speedhub, altogether 42 speed.
No TV, no microwave and no washing machine. ( Not enough space in my van for those) I live a mobile lifestyle, call me nomad if you wish but gypsy I am not.
Have started my epic journey from Bluff to Cape Reinga on my recumbent trike supported with my van so I can carry all my gadgets with me and sleep in a comfy bed.
