Can you hear me now?

Last week my phone went for a swim.  Immersion in diet coke killed the screen, or so it seems, and strand one of the response is to order tools and parts for the trusty Nokia 6230i which was doing sterling service.  One torx driver later and the boards are scrubbed and still the screen is sad, so, given that the screen's baby-PCB had grot on it, I'm assuming the grot was death-grot and ordering a replacement from the magic flea market.

Strand two looks for a replacement.  It turns out that you can get a phone for utter bobbins - Phones4U actually have one for a fiver -  but these phones are as basic as cheap phones always were.  As soon as you get up to camera + video + expandable memory + rudimentary stub of internet, there's a jump from bobbins to real money.  If you want robust or bling, the real money gets real enough that you need a contract or a rich uncle. 

I was vaguely expecting to see something akin to the 6230i - a noble steed in phone lineages - at the £30-£40 mark.  Apparently not (at least, there is one, but it's got the Samsung special slow interface and is styled for a teenager's bedroom, faux carbon and all).  So it's worth repairing, because the replacements are twice that. 

Meanwhile, I'm playing silly buggers with the on-call phone.  Ssh, don't tell. 

Anyone got a builderphone going spare?
