This phone has a faulty screen, with a streak of dead pixels running from the bottom right to midway up the left side (as shown in photos). This does not affect usage too much, I have been using it in this state for a few months and whilst it is very annoying it isn't completely useless. However you will probably need to replace the screen. The actual glass of the screen is perfect, no cracks whatsoever.
Whilst I am sure this is a fairly straight forward job and can be done for cheaper if done yourself, I have found this website http://www.iphonespecialist.co.uk/device.php?id_phone=68 that will do the whole job for you for *£30.99. *
In addition to this, the headphone jack got a small piece of fluff stuck in it. Stupidly (and under numerous peoples advice) I tried to remove it with pins etc and ended up causing what I expect to be permanent damage to the headphone jack. Still works but only at certain angles etc making it virtually useless.
Again i'm sure this can be fixed for cheaper, but the same website is offering to fix this problem at exactly the same price. (£30.99)
The phone is - other than that - in perfect working order. Still holding charge well and buttons responding correctly. Mute button still works well (as it has been on silent since I bought it) as do volume, lock and home buttons.
Has the latest iOS installed
Has not been jail broken, and is locked to O2. Although I am told you can get it unlocked by O2.
Originally cost upwards of £500. Have been doing some research and these tend to go for around £140 on eBay. But considering the potential £61.98 of repair needed to get this back to a fully functioning phone i'm asking for £65

Thanks.

Sold on eBay (for £110? surprised myself...)
