i live in southern california. im gunna use it on the cingular network. but i dont know like i can go down to the cell shop. they have like faceplates for it. i didnt know if it would fix the problem. i think when you buy a faceplate it comes with the front and back cover. so then the new screen cover should be new and not scratched right?

Oh ok if you're going to use it on the same network, then its fine. Make sure you find the faceplates AND it has the screen, too. Some faceplates don't have the replacement screen.
The reason why i asked about what network you were going to use it on was becos the t616 was designed to use the 850/1800/1900 bands (but in so cali we use the 850 band). If, for example, you were going to use it for t-mobile, it would be incompatible because t-mobile uses the t610 (900/1800/1900) GSM bands. Also there are some 'unlocking' issues with using the same fone for different (albeit compatible) networks.

I just bought my T616 NEW fom Cingular for $99.00 ($149 - $50 rebate). Why buy used (and scratched) for the same price unless you want to hack the phone?

Also, Writeright screen protectors work wonders. The screen on my old phone still looks like new!

It sounds like he already has a plan, though (then cingular will screw him up the ass with the price of the phone). I have a better suggestion, PM me.
