We have been buying spare parts and accessories from CNN.cn for several years now. They not only have very good prices, their service is also pretty good. I know, I have bought from them.
But a little competition is always welcome. I just found out about Lencri.com, another Chinese company that sells BlackBerry parts and accessories. Unlike CNN.cn, Lencri seems to focus on the BlackBerry and iPhone brands only, which may result in better quality. Or not. I still haven’t tried their service so I don’t know, and unfortunately, I found their Web site quite frustrating. For starters, it requires Javascript, which I hate. Enabling Javascript just for lencri.com isn’t enough, I had to enable it for mysterious IP numbers which is unsettling, especially in a Chinese Web site. Then many of the links do not work, while others do. Finally, I couldn’t find the price for anything. Not out to a very good start in my opinion.
At any rate, it may be an additional source for parts and accessories in case you’re looking for something and not finding it in other places.
UPDATE: This article was written on Friday, when Lencri.com was still up. We decided to publish it today, on Monday, and it seems that Lencri.com is now undergoing maintenance. That was an unfortunate, unexpected coincidence. I am sorry for the frustration this may cause. Hopefully, their site will be better when it comes back up.

If it’s not working well for you, might be a good idea not to mention it to the public as another source for things that might cost money, especially if you find it “unsettling” to fiddle with it and enter IP numbers to get it to work….

I think the readers have the right to access to the information, and the right to choose to agree or disagree with my assessment.

The quality should be the same since they both sell original parts.
