Thanks, I'll need all the luck I can get!
As an example of how things cannot go so well now - I've just bought a Samsung E800 with a 'white screen' problem - it works fine other than this fault. I tried taking the phone apart and fixing it - and managed to make the problem worse, now the screen doesn't display anything! The screen connector on the main PCB has a broken securing bit on the connector for the ribbon that goes to the screen -beyone my capabilities. Phone will only be good for spares for me
If I'm lucky I'd get my money back by listing the phone back on Ebay, or using it for parts. Compare that to potentially more than doubling my money with the D500 I talked about a few posts ago!
It's a gamble, this experiment. I could be lucky and get relatively simple and cheap to fix problems on phones, or an almost irreparable (to me anyway) one that could hamper me, but there's only one way of finding out!

dont think that you are on a roll and it will be easy just because of one great success (d500). just keep on taking it slow and hope for the best. dont buy a load of phones and convince yourself you will fix them all. its worth a try and i cant wait to see the results.

@Sammy_Boy:
I know it's probably impossible and/or a stupid question. Can you add an additional band to your phone (by the word "band" i mean like Tri Band or Quad Band). In my area, Cingular mainly uses the 850mhz freq, so i'm very limited on my phone coverage....Once i go into some buildings i lose my signal

Not quite sure what you mean, I'm guessing you're asking if it's possible to 'install' or 'bolt on' an extra band on a phone - short answer to that I believe is no, impossible. Though this V500 I'm selling is a quad-band phone!
@dude - You're right, and that is one thing I have already found out, and that is there are swings and roundabouts with doing this. Sometimes you're up, sometimes you buy a complete turkey which you've paid too much for and is only useable for spares. I bet that will be the conclusion of this experiment too!

Well, it went for £36, plus postage on top of that! Nearly doubled my money!
Going well so far, in fact a little too well.... Still waiting for payment though at the mo!
