cheaply, if so, how/where? We live in Lancashire, UK. Anyones help please?

Yep I agree. You can pick them up on eBay pretty cheaply.

Re: Help please? wet Nokia 8210 not working
Water ingress as it's known in the trade, is cancer for phones. It
causes internal corrosion which is irreversible and spreads over time.
If anyone ever drops their phone into liquid, take it apart and dry it
completely immediately - if you leave it then the water will do its
damage. Warranty repairers spot water ingress very easily and will not
repair the phone for you. Your best bet, if you cannot dry it
immediately is then to replace the unit.

> Ebay
S/H Ebay one should cost between £40 and £60 I think. Just don't buy one
that says 'sim card rejected'. One possibility (I haven't tried this so no
idea whether it'll work) is to claim it on your household insurance if you
have accidental damage cover?
