I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    Yeah, that plus labor is 80% of what I typically pay for a whole brand new phone… I know why it is this way, but it really is this way and that makes it very hard for low volume players to enter the market.

      The heck are you talking about? If you change it yourself it’s still 100€. And you won’t find any decent smartphone at this price.

        I typically pay US$250 for unlocked smartphones, and they are fine for me, my wife, my kids, friends and family…

        If the screen is 100€ and the labor to install it competently (I suppose this is a DIY serviceable phone, but the screen?) is another 75€, that’s 80% of what I would be paying for a brand new phone.
