If you don't have any luck finding a new LCD (and I have no suggestions in that direction), and you buy a new phone of the same make and model, your carrier's store will have the equipment and knowhow to copy the phonebook data from your old phone to the new one.

You might look to the Howard Forums for more cell phone repair knowledge.

Good luck.

You might wanna look into a GSM provider if you end up buying a new phone. They use SIM cards which store your phonebook and all your info, so if you break your phone you just pop the card into a new one and off you go. Just something to consider if ya break your phone often...

GSM is the best! I've broken many cell phones in my days and I absolutly love the fact that I can turn to Egay and buy a new phone for like 30 - 50 dollars. Not too many companies offer GSM mainly cingular, T-Mobile, & Voicestream.. AT&T is getting into GSM but so far their service isn't as wide spread as Cingular or Voicestream.

Well the best feature for me was that when i bought a GSM world phone from Voicestream back in the states, they even unlocked it for me for free so that i could use a european sim card in my phone while im over here in Europe. :) Im now paying 3.47 cents per minute to call the states (all incoming calls are free) as compared to the 99 cents per minute i would have paid using vstream....

Its too bad cingular isn't as generous as voicestream, however if you own a datacable you can just unlock it yourself but kinda risky. I managed to do it on my 8290 phone, not 100% sure if its unlocked cuz I have no other sim card to test it out with. Hopefully its unlocked. :D
