I just was messing around with my Treo, and it still works! I can't see anything on the screen, but I can make calls and receive calls just fine. So I guess it's ok to wait. A little while, anyway.

(note: the cracks are on the inside, so the glass itself is totally smooth and not leaking any of the whatever-it-is)

Heh, my bluetooth headset works, too. I wish our phones worked the way the UK phones do, where phones aren't locked down. I'd get this repaired and keep it as a backup.

ETA: Just looked up replacement screens on EBay. $40! And there are videos all over YouTube how to replace the screen. I fixed my own Handspring before, and changed the battery on my old iPod. And it's only $40. Ha, Apple, you might just have to wait for my dosh after all!

Some of our phones are locked (Orange is one network that does it) but you can get them unlocked.

Good luck with the screen-replacing - it sounds like it might be the way to go!

I have the new screen hopefully on its way to me via eBay. In the meantime, I will pretend that my cell phone is an old-fashioned regular phone, with no caller ID and no number storage and I will just have to deal with it.
