Thank you for the advice Dragoss and Robbie.
It is relatively easy to change the LCD, however if you are not technical you may even consider sourcing your own LCD (ebay/internet/whatever) for about £30 and taking it to a mobile phone chop-shop. Say they charge you around £20 (depends where you go) you suddenly add around £100 worth of value to your 'broken' N900...

By technical I mean assembled/dis-assembled electronics with patience and care of a technician before. Not a lifehacker reading, arduino toting art/tech spazz who thinks their latest black and white HDR shots of converse branded non-prescription glasses is a valuable contribution to society.
