Replacing the Touch Screen Digitizer

Well i have a big crack across the front of my screen, and i need to find a replacement to fix it but im not exactly sure WHICH one i should get.

i first need to find out what model number my phone is..which is what SKU it is. T7373, T7380 etc. How would i find this? im asking because all the ebay digitizers i see have different versions, though most are T7373..but you will see some T7878 etc.

some basic information about my phone includes..
Verizon Wireless Touch Pro2 Bought in April, 2010
Qualcomm 7600 CPU
288MB RAM
Model No. RHOD500

im guessing that it is indeed a T7373 so i might just order this digitizer.

it does say that it's only compatible with AT&T TP2 (GSM Only) so i'd rather ask before i buy.

gonna follow these few guides to get it open, and i should be good to go.

it's also to my understanding that to fix the screen, i will need...

  1. Screen Digitizer *uknown model, likely T7373?)
  2. T5 Torx Screwdriver
  3. Plastic Pry Tool
  4. "Kapton Tape" (to replace the ones you remove while dissembling near the keyboard and behind the front portion of the device)
  5. Tweezers (to remove "conductive fabric sponge" and "metal pad")
  6. Hair Dryer (to heat the glue so the Digitizer can be removed from the screen smoothly)
