You shouldn't do it yourself, too easy to break ...
Do you live in USA? If so, then the best would be to make it repaired from Nokia, which will be kinda expensive (+-100-150$) but the best way to get this done.
If it can't be repaired from Nokia, buy another screen from ebay or something like that and make it repaired by an electronic professionnal

Details that I didn't know!!!
You should repair it yourself then ... Must be easy to do for someone who can repair laptops...
I don't know how insurances work in the UK, but here in Canada I wouldn't pass a 600$ device on insurances, because the insurance itself will cost much more if I use it too much...
Sorry for my d*mn english, you can see I'm french canadian lol

I'd still be rocking the N900. It's a battle scar and simply adds character. Right?

Brutal!

It probably still runs better than an iPhone.

Another note, if you do the screen replacement yourself you could write a DIY guide for replacing the screens to the benefit of the N900 community. Just a thought.

Good Luck!

That sounds rather homoerotic to me....
