Broken screen

I dropped my phone & broke the screen. I did some looking for a new phone, but didn't find anything that really caught my eye. I then did a search on ebay for parts & found a new digitizer for $28 shipped. I did the surgery last night & it came out flawless. The new digitizer works much better than the original. It's not perfect, but it's a definite improvement. I can pick up an icon & drag it around without dropping it now. I think this definitely supports the case that the factory digitizer is a POS.
 
You may want to look around or search the forums. The screen bug has been fixed for quite some time now. I think the new 2.3.6 update does it, but bobs kernel has been around for awhile and also fixes it.


Can u post a tutorial on how you changed the screen? I had been dealing with my broken one for a long time now due to not wanting to destroy my phone.
