got it insured?
Wouldn't want to guess with the damage to be honest, get some pictures up!

Tis a pity

By the way, can you please try to be a bit more descriptive in titles - "Help!!!" doesn't really help the people reading the forums....!

no insurance i live in malta and really didnt even know bout that...dnt have pics cause its at the techy.

its like the dog chewed on it and der are teeth holes in the panel that slides up..everything works except screen and touch. im guessing lcd and touch replacement should do it but im no expert i was just asking for some help regarding fixing it :P

Personally... I'd give Nokia a call. They might fix it for a fee..

I had a quick google: they are quite expensive!
Admittedly, that was the first hit, I didn't really look any further after being horrified

EDIT: *sigh* removed joke... @OP: I wasn't actually mocking your situation (I feel bad for you, and I would be really upset if it was me), but it was a very tempting pun. Sorry for being a jerk...
Anyhow, on a side note, I agree with the comment that the post title is not helpful, and I've seen a few like this as of late. I motion that we put a sticky thread somewhere with links to info on repair options and a place for people to ask for help/complain/post pictures of chewed phones/whatever in one place. Anyone want to second that?

Sounds like a good idea Jaem, having repair information and options in one place.

I had the screen go on my old N95, it wasn't touch screen or anything, but I found a street trader who fitted it for £10. I got the screen for £30.
I normally do things like that myself, but it had those nasty ribbon cables, which are very fiddly for my fingers which are almost as wide as they are long!

As a baseline though, I'd see how much Nokia would charge - if you don't want to try yourself that is. I have no idea of places in Malta, I live in a small corner of England so can't help you on that one I'm afraid = [
