Rip off merchants!
A while back the charger for my Ericsson T68 sh@t it, so as a temporary measure I had been using an old nokia.
I called Carphone Warehouse asking if they had any in stock - they were wanting £30! I managed to get a brand new one from ebay for £0.99 (plus £2.50 p&p)!
How can the likes of Carphone Warehouse charge these prices? MAJOR RIP OFF!

what you should have done is stamped on the phone then told carphone warehouse you broke the phone and got a new phone & charger for free
providing you have insurance cover on it
i normally get 6 or 7 new phones a year this way

I got it from my ex when he upgraded his phone quite some time ago so I don't have any cover. I love it anyhow, it's my baby, I don't want a new one!

CPW were perhaps quoting you £30 for a Ericsson one, rather than a 3rd party one. I'm sure I have a T68 charger somewhere anyway, as my T68 died....
Yours to pick up if I can find it....
