Should I get my broken screen repaird?

[enki]

Hi.
I have a gsm Treo 650 that I have used for about three years, and I love it.
It has had some regular wear and tear over the years, including the hands free port failing.

A few days ago, the screen cracked in my pocket.
The glass face is cracked, but the lcd under it still works fine, and the touchscreen hardly works at all.

Luckily it still hotsyncs.

What should I do?
I think the only thing that needs to be replaced is that glass rectangle over the screen, how expensive could it be?

Would it be worth it to get a new Treo, or other smartphone?

Well I have seen the glass screen for 650's on ebay for under $10, check it out.

Yes on fixing; however, considering the age of the device, other items will start having problems shortly (really) and if you are in the position, I would suggest a new device. Ben

I have been looking around, and it looks like the whole touchscreen display part is one component.
Even if I replace the glass faceplate, would my touchscreen still be working?
