Refreshing the N9 (unibody and screen replacement)
 

I have been thinking about doing this lately since I have been in the process of replacing my wife's Lumias shattered screen.

Her digitizer (not including lcd) was around 100 USD, CRAZY!

So I was a bit scared to look and see how much the unibody and screen would cost for the N9.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that I could get both for around 50 USD plus shipping!!!!!!

My screen was scratch free after everyday use for 2 years, but during a football match I asked my wife (hulk hands) to hold it for me during the game, after I came off the pitch she hands it back to me and guess what I see, 2 scratches, not bad, but now they bother me to no end.

The unibody was ok, but I was carrying it without the case that came with it, and it slipped while I was trying to put it in my pocket and landed on the corner near the simcard, so it took a little damage there. After always having it in the case I noticed that it started to rub and discolor parts of the unibody.

So I am really starting to want to refresh the old N9.

Anybody else do something similiar?

Is the metal one (comes from where by the way ?!) lighter than the plastic unibody ?

My screen is also scratched and after replacing my Wife Lumia 800 screen I am considering doing the same to my N9. Quite keen on a white case too.

don't understand what do you mean with "the metal one"? it comes from hong kong.

for me, at least,, is the same weight my friend.

do it, you won't regret.

just find a good screen that comes withe light sensor, other way you may have problems like your n9 doesn't boot with the new screen :-)
