The bezel is cracked, I think I should I look into that place in Alabama first thing in the morning. God I'm not going to be able to sleep anymore.

It doesn't look like the whole phone is one solid piece of black polycarbonate. Look at bottom left corner of pic.

and this is how big the drop was, not much at all. I just drank 4 beers cuz of this. fml.

Wow, I feel for you man! It looks like the knock dislodged the screen, which isn't part of the unibody construction

I dropped mine 3 feet onto a hardwood floor, but there isn't even a scratch on it. I also leave it in the rubber case it came with (this might be what helped).

Yeah it once fell onto pavement from about 3-4 feet also and nothing happened, I really think it was the angle and falling onto the corner on the hard tile that totally did it in.

Good thing is I've confirmed with Palco they can replace the screen, I just need to find out about the bezel and the cover for the usb port and microsim, I don't think it would be much more. $170 for the screen. If I can get this tragedy fixed for around $250, I'll be very happy at this point. I will always charge this phone on the ground from now on.

Damn, thought i was the unlucky one. I will probably try replacing screen tonight, if it is fairly simple you can get it done for 125 then 170 will let you know

Hmm let me know how it easy it is, maybe I can get the the screen for 125 and then 80 bucks for the white housing and I would be golden...

Update: Just spoke to Palco and though they do not have the housing (which I think I need as the plastic above where the phone sits is cracked, along with the usb cover and microsim top cover is bent) they will install it if I provide it for them free of charge. They look to be really reputable as they are Nokia's repair center, so it looks like I am going to order the white housing and send it off to Palco to get it replaced and end up with a white N9!

Ok has anyone ordered a housing? I'm not sure if it comes with a microsim tray or usb door cover. Does anyone know? I'm thinking of getting the white one and sending it off to Palco.

Is the screen cracked are you sure it's broken? It seems from the video it could just be pressed back in. If the screen isn't f'd just get a new case and swap everything. The hardest part would seem to be removing the screen and that is already done.
