HTC Hermes (SPV M3100) offered £15 or FREE -(spare parts/repair)

Firstly, I'd like to apologise if this is the wrong place to post. (Got a banging headache...)
I've my old Hermes (SPV M3100), with no screen and some cosmetic damage, especially at front (see picture - silver strip has come off in 2 pieces).
Included is a quite new glossy black hard plastic case which covers the whole handset but it can be used with it on on - like a clear crystal case for normal candybar phones.
Also, a 3.5mm headphone extension/adapter, original earphones, battery, charger, and 2 leather cases (including original).
It's a bit crappy in condition but it does work but there's no screen...
(I had 2 - the screen on the other, which was in perfect condition broke so I took this one).
See the pic.
start at £15 paypal, for a sponsored walk/run we're doing (proceeds to Red Cross for Burmese and Chinese aid). Is this too high a price? I can promise every penny (after postage) will go to the Red Cross. I'll provide you with proof or whatever if needs be.
I'll stick it on ebay if you want, to prove I'm no bullshitter or conman
Thanks, remember your money's going to a good cause. (Better this than recycling the handset).
PM me for any more info or reply below.
I'll also swap it for a good pair of standard (3.5mm) earphones. (But this'll have to be soon)

What is the most pressure that can *safely* be applied to the screen?

I was using my stylus earlier and I noticed i was tapping the screen quite hard.. and sometimes I press hard with my fingers while using the phone. Does anyone know when to ease up on the pressure?

hello, not sure how much is to much, but if your stylus cracks the screen, or your finger goes through the phone and comes out the other side, its too much pressure, , nah , all kinding aside, i would say only use enough pressure to get the phone to function, i know that might sound dumb, but i think its the right answer, if a light touch works, why would you want to press any harder? if you have a heavy hand, you might have to change your habit. hope this helps

The maximum allowable pressure is 3.8351 megapascalmeters per nanogramsecond squared.

where:
q, p1, ..., pk are distinct primes (Euler).
q ≡ α ≡ 1 (mod 4) (Euler).
The smallest prime factor of N is less than (2k + 8) / 3 (Grün 1952).
The relation e1≡e2≡...≡ek ≡ 1 (mod 3) is not satisfied (McDaniel 1970).
Either qα > 1020, or
> 1020 for some j (Cohen 1987).
(Nielsen 2003).

It's scary that I actually understood that.....
If you are feel that you are putting too much pressure---try feedback vibrating and also look up iTouch by azarhunny. Makes the screen even more sensitive..

Joby Ori case - Modded to fit touchpad

I thought the Ori was pretty cool and hard to pass up at $30 even if it doesn't fit the best.
I ordered the Ori and used it for a bit and could see why some of the negative comments about it not securely holding the touch pad were made. I then started thinking of possible solutions to this (I also mod computers and cars) and in about 5 minutes I had a solution. I've been testing it out for a while now and it works brilliantly.
I bought the following trim pieces:
Polyethylene Edge Trim w/ Adhesive
Neoprene Rubber Edge Trim
From this site: (did I mention I mod cars too?)
http://customcargrills.com/products.asp?cat=45
The fitment with the trim pieces is nearly perfect and the touchpad is in there solid. The trim pieces do not extend higher than the TP so the cover fits as if the trim pieces weren't even there. I just need to get time to cut/drill out holes for the head phone jack and speakers.
I had thought about posting up a teaser saying that I had a solution to give me time to get a short video put together but I know how I hate those threads so here are some of pics of the results: (using my CM9 Nexus S 4G)

I've held the case so the touch pad is pointing face down and shook it as hard as I could and the touchpad did not come out. I've already ordered another Ori for my 2nd touchpad. I'm loving how functional the ori is. I'm just wanting to get a netbook sleeve for it to cover it when traveling and such to protect stuff from the metal case.

Bluetooth Keyboard/Case for the Note 8.0

I happened to find this little gem on Ebay when i was just browsing items for my Galaxy Note 8.
When you are not using it as a keyboard, it doubles as a protective case.
You place the Note 8 either in portrait or landscape-mode in the slot above the keys and it then looks sort of like a netbook. I personaly do not like the other types of case/keyboards out there as they often get bulky and sometimes they do not look to well with nothing to really hold the tablet in place except maybe a rubberband or just a sleeve where the tablet sits quite badly while you type.
As i said before, the keyboard works as a protective case when you are carrying the Note 8 with you. It snaps on to the front of the screen with a good fit and there are no buttons, irports, speakers or usbport blocked while the case is attached.
The keyboard has home and back buttons as well as eight other fuctions such as copy/paste and play/pause for media. It is charged through a microUSB-cable that is included in the package.
I dont use it as much as i thought i would, and sometimes i touch the screen with a finger while typing on the upper row of keys (the number-keys). other than that it works well, easy to connect via bluetooth.
I could also see myself paying a little more for a version with sturdier plastic as it does not feel really safe to place the tablet in portrait-mode, the plastic above the number-keys tend to buckle and i guess repetitive use could break the plastic completely.
I found it here on ebay
and here are some pictures and a video:

Would this stylus scratch the screen?

Not sure but a lot of Amazon reviews indicate that it tends to produce micro scratches, so I would weary about buying this.

Well, its not a fine tip writing one, but I use an ampen stylus for my stuff.

That's not a fine tipped stylus, there's actually a small disc on the end of it. The tip is just a ball and the disc has a socket that allows for the capacitive screen to work. I have had a mini and a pro since the transformer tf101 and I've never had a single scratch, just wipe the disc with your finger before you start using it.

I had the Jot Pro stored in some drawer in my home , so after digging and finally finding it, for the 'sake of science' I decided to take one for the team and be the Guinea pig in testing it with my Nexus 9.
I'm happy to report that the little disc on this stylus against the Gorilla-3 glass does not seem to affect in any way the surface, and I was surprised to find this tablet to be much more responsive to this particular stylus than my previous Nexus 7 tablets (both versions). Granted, I've in using this stylus only for a few minutes but results seem to remain the same over extended usage. :fingers-crossed:
