Thank you to all the previous posters for all the information. I'm not sure what I'm more pissed about. Dropping my Aria and having the screen crack or the ding it put in a vintage 57 Gibson guitar on the way down!!
Funny thing is I was in Best Buy yesterday looking for a gel case for it and of course because I didn't buy an i(diot)phone there's nothing available for the Aria. I ordered the new digitizer from Nationwide Cellular last night after reading the posts. I also order the little tool they recommended along with some adhesive just in case. I opted for the 4 day delivery for $20 and they automatically upgraded me to Fed Ex 2nd day for the same price. My screen will be here tomorrow morning!! I'll post some pics of the operation.
I found this store on Ebay that has a deal on the rubber case and a car charger for $6.50 The picture looks like it covers the corners well so hopefully this is the last time I'll need to replace the screen. CAR CHARGER+SOFT SKIN BLACK CASE for ATT HTC ARIA PHONE - eBay (item 300449410327 end time Aug-23-10 14:41:08 PDT)
Thanks again for all your help.
Actually it's a fantastic phone. Fact is glass breaks.
what is the name of the seller? I need one...
THanks
I had my Aria for about a week... so here's to having a cracked screen for a year!
cheers
i bet you wouldnt be such an ass if it was your phone that's broken.
You may want to use some glue to hold the new screen on, hopefully this will not happen again. My phone still had enough of the sticky paste left to hold the new screen fine
I HIGHLY recommend looking at repairsuniverse's screen replacement video and using their method rather than the OP's. The tricky part (for me, at least) was getting under the board to access the digitizer plug and RU's method removes a few more pieces to make the plug access much easier.
