I have an iPhone 16gb 3gs that needs a new screen and potentially a digitizer. Any ideas wether it's worth fixing or sellin for parts?

Don't the recycling companies buy them working or faulty for the same money?

On the 3G it is a pretty easy job to replace the screen. I've done it on mine too...

Not sure if you can see that or not?

£150 sounds about right. My home button doesn't click anymore, is that fixable?

My dad had his screen replaced by a dodgy looking guy on the market in Luton for £50. He actually did a brilliant job of it.
No idea what a digitizer is though, might be more expensive to repair.

Friend of mine has a iphone 3g with a cracked screen, not the screen itself just the outer part. Might buy it off him and fix it up with that kit
