Broken Camera Lens

Last night while taking my dog out, things happened, my phone fell out of my pocket, bounced off the ground and out of its cover. Somehow I also stood on it and dragged it against the ground resulting in a broken camera lens. It all happened so quickly...

Thankfully (and luckily) this seems to be the only damage to the phone but I do use the camera quite a lot. Now when I use the camera the pictures are very blurry - it's the only real difference I notice in the photos.

Anyone have any ideas on the best way of getting this fixed and the possible costs?
 
Found this on xda developer's .... :)

1) Turn phone off
2) Take off battery cover
3) Remove battery, SIM card, and SD Card
4) remove about 8 screws to remove the middle back place.
5) Remove middle back place carefully (There are still tabs holding it secure)
6) Place new middle back in place
7) Screw down
8) Replace battery, SIM card, and SD card
9) Replace battery cover
10) Power up phone!!

Excellent, very useful indeed - doesn't seem like the most complex procedure ever.
