    If you love music, keep it and get it fixed! There still is no phone that sounds as good imho!

    Definately, go on to ebay and buy a screen for around €20 + postage

    Then go to the following link and change it yourself.

    It should be fairly simple.
    All you need is a T6 screwdriver, and that might me supplied with the sreen.
    It was with the one i bought.

    If you go to a repair shop, they could charge you anything..

    the screens are fairly easy to replace in the E61 so the N91 should be similar. these are not like iphones, nokia build their phones well - lots of little components that can be replaced

    is the hard drive ok?

    Not sure, it was hopped off a wall :eek: It displays Nokia in blue writing on boot up but freezez at that. are they rom chip based or hdd? I have the N95 so I am not too bothered if its knacked, I had two years good use out of it.

    If you still have this I'll buy it off you,

    I need a surrogate N91 to put my hard drive into from my own N91 which got wet,none of the buttons work but the phone does, which means when I plug in the usb cable I can't select mass storage to transfer all the data onto my pc.

    I have an N95 now too but there are a lot of notes and stuff on the N91 that I need
    HELP

    that probably means the hdd is dead as a dodo :( and the feckers use some sort of special connector or you´d be able to replace it with a CF card
