Hello!
I recently dropped my n900 and this is what it looks like now.
I have been to a Nokia partner place, they have said it will be around 200 Euros(260 Dollars)

I looked for a LCD Display on ebay, but prices vary from 50 to 200 dollars. Can somebody please tell me which exactly do i need or maybe there are china displays out there?

Thanks in advance.

200 Euros for a replacement screen????
You could replace the whole phone for less on ebay.

All you would need is a replacement LCD screen. There's another screen over the top of that, called the "digitizer". That part doesn't look damaged so you should get away without replacing that.

Really up to you. If you want to pay around 50-60 Euros for a third party replacement or go for a genuine Nokia replacement.

There shouldn't be any difference between original nokia LCD replacement and 50-60 dollar one, right?
I know 200 Euro is a lot, i think i could buy two used n900...

The third party screens will more than likely be made from inferior materials compared to the original Nokia parts, and they may also have dead pixels.

just buy a used N900 off ebay and use your broken one as a secondary battery/charger.

Around the new N900 on eBay topic - can someone, please, point out an eBay seller who have geniuine, new N900 and is worth to trust. I'm looking to buy second new, and since on eBay there is plenty sellers offering NEW N900 (all diffrent locations such as HK, CHIN, USA) I'm bit conffiused.

Thanks in advance.
