    That is horrible, I've had a toothmark from my ferret since one month after I got it. Is your device still working? It is not very easy to replace a screen on a Z. Have you got insurance?

    The device is still working but I can't unlock the screen

    I am with Bell Canada and I don't have any exclusive insurance that I am aware of

    OK that is bad news. The way the digitiser works on the Z it's very difficult to remove the screen yourself unless you've got experience. Have you contacted Bell Canada to see what they offer?

    I am in the process with them but given my experience with them, it doesn't look too optimistic. I'll get back once I know what they say!

    I'm not suggesting that you do it, but here is a link to a similar thread.

    Bell said either to use early upgrade for $405 or contact bell store for replacement, which I am assuming won't be less than $200?

    I won't be able to sell the Z10 for $200 in 4 months, so I don't know...

    Buy one privately, switch to that one. If it is cheaper. I'm not sure of the cost to switch phones, last time I did it, it was 75$

    My screen cracked by dropping it. I had insurance on it though. Still had to pay $200 for a replacement though.

    Sign up for insurance and put a claim in. When my prev BB died on me, my VZ rep added insurance on the spot and put in a claim for me. Got a new phone via mail the next day. Not sure if this goes for all carriers.

    Did you buy it with a credit card? Most CC have insurance for purchases.

    It's on a contract, I did pay for it via credit car, like the base price?

    Just hit up Kijiji or Craigslist and get one for a couple hundred bucks. You can usually find someone who wants to sell.

    $150 for a new screen and digitizer. $10 for the screw driver to unscrew tour phone. Really easy plug and play to fix your screen. I did it myself.

    The first time the dog ate my son's Z10, we replaced the screen. The guy came to the house, $165, 20 minutes. I'm in Canada.

    His critique is relative to pics from my prior phones. One being a Lumina, the other an old Samsung.

    The iphone screen breaks all the time. However, your touch sensing is not effected. On a "touch on lens" phone, a cracked screen will destroy the touch sensing.

    I suggest getting a tempered glass protector. I ranted about the Mime Ghost glass when I first got one, but they have replaced mine with a good one
    No bubbles in the display. Nice and smooth.

    I just did the same thing on Sunday. Insurance was cheaper. $100 deductible with VZ.

    Home Depot had a small tool with interchangeable heads with varying size driver bits. Also, Crackberry sells one or two tool kits. I believe that looking at the videos, the z10 uses more than one size.
