Eh, if you could find one that physically fits, actually has the right connector, and isn't too expensive, (read: impossible,) then you still have to somehow "hope" that the LCD controller can use it, (it can't,) and even if it could, you would have to write new drivers for Windows Mobile...

short answer: no f'ing way
long answer: get a Diamond

Thanks T M Z

P.S. Keep your fingers crossed...

O.K. guys, it's 2:07 on Tueday the 10th. Just got done installing the ebay screen posted above. The screen quality is of the lesser two. Didn't change one bit. No use of putting any pics on here. All I can suggest is to look for another one, Thanks T M Z.

P.S. any one need to buy a screen, LOL

That sucks I was hoping for some good news, I may have to replace my LCD becasue I have the WSOD but it may not be LCD related, so i figured if i was putting money into the "good" screen it would be so much of a loss. I wish I had a screen to test to see if it was actually my LCD that is bad or something else...

Good job TMZ. Just another hurdle you covered and sadly this was not the fix. Try to return the screen to the buyer... if you can.

How much total for the screen btw? Also, have you noticed the clear film on the screen? Look at the edge of the screen, I thought was the polarizer, turns out its not. There was a earlier thead that mentioned this film. From what I know its just a dark film to reduce the over brightness of the screen.

I'll sell my Touch for $600, if anyone wants it...

Well I don't want to switch to GSM, but I would if i had to!

I'll take a Touch Pro though...

Seriously, what is the value of a perfect Sprint Touch/Vogue? With so many people having the crap screen, it seems like I might have a collectible!
