I haven't used this method, but I think there is a way to connect to your phone with SPB Backup through a computer and create a back up file that way, so it wouldn't matter if you can see what's on the screen of the broken phone or not. Like I said, not 100% sure on that, but it'd be worth checking out.

I guess I know what my extra-curricular activity will be this week. I'm muddling through with phone #2 sans contact info for now. First and most important thing I need is contact info, so I'm going to play with Active Sync today and see if I can at least get those transfered. I'm barely familiar with the app; better than trying to download, install, learn new software (SPB Backup) while trying to be a semi-productive worker bee.
I found several links on the screen change operation but, since my ultimate goal would involve doing this twice (increasing the odds of screwing something up), I'm saving that one for my very last resort. I suspect if SPB Backup won't do the job [due to broken screen] I will probably just do a little pouting and settle for salvaging all of my contacts.
Thanks for the help folks. Additional ideas still welcome. I will add trial and error reports as I step through this -- surely I'm not the only gadget geek that bought two identical PPC phones when he only needed one.
I was certain someone was going to offer, "Yes, undo four screws and pull this card and that card and swap them out." Maybe I'm the one that needs to go into the wounded phone and experiment
AFTER I get #2 as "cloned" as possible.
