I have explored this problem before and at that time thought there were display/digitizer units on fleabay for around $80, but darned if I can find them now. Good luck with it - please let us know how it goes!

[used Sprint tp2's seem to be going for $150 and up. ]

Yes, though I think the average may have dropped $20 in the last half year or so... LOL

Still pretty impressive when you consider what is out there competing.

Finally got it done. Ended up using super glue because every other glue I tryed wasn't strong enough. Be VERY careful if you use superglue, I ended up using a little too much on and it oozed onto the front of the digitizer. I spent hours with fingernail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, and cottonballs trying to get it cleaned up. I got most of it and everything that is left is covered by the case I have it in.

A quick note to anyone attempting to do this. When you get to the step that you remove the digitizer and LCD from the front bezel it gets a little tricky. Be very careful and go slow, don't get impatient like I did or you'll crack the LCD. There is pretty strong adhesive above and below the LCD.

If you're looking for the parts here is a link to where I got my replacement digitizer and LCD: gadgetfix items - Get great deals on HTC, Samsung items on eBay Stores!
Picked up a digitizer for $15 and an LCD for $35.
