If your phone has suffered screen damage it is important to note that it can probably be fixed. Hard scratches, cracks and breaks have resulted in most phones being thrown in the trash. These days, there is a phone repair store in many of the major cities across the United States. 

It is common that people look at features and appearance when buying a phone but another thing they should consider is fixability. What is this made up word? Fixability has to do with the difficulty and cost of repair. 

The age of the iPhone has brought us several smartphones that are awesome to use and easy to break. One thing to look for when buying a phone is that the screen is not glued to the LCD. When this happens, you can not replace one of the parts solo because when one breaks they both need to go.

Also of not is the cost of parts. An HTC Droid Incredible repair is really cheap because the screen can be found for $30. This is a great deal. You can also repair the iPhone 3G and 3Gs at a great price. All of these things when buying a phone. It will save you money and save us from some more e-waste.
