Aaagh! cracked screen on Lumia 950XL. What now?

I dropped my Lumia 950XL today and damaged screen. I can't read the bottom half of the screen, makes it's very difficult to text or even make a phone call as I'm stabbing in the dark.

Phone is only two month's old. Bought directly from Microsoft. I suppose there's no warranty.

Has anyone experience of having the screen replaced on this phone?

In the meantime, if I want to go back to my older Lumia, I'll have an issue with the SIM - nano to micro.

I found the old bit of plastic from around the SIM, which I had broken off when moving from micro to nano. Was able to put that around it and put it back in old phone. So that's one problem sorted.

Now going to try to copy data from the Lumia 950XL and then wipe data from it. Not sure what I'm doing, but think I'll use USB cable to connect it to PC and just drag and drop.

Microsoft site suggests the following two authorized repair centres:

SBE Ltd. (Ireland), Greenogue Business Park, Rathcoole, Co. Dublin Tel. 01 401 8176
Fónfix, Sandyford Industrial Estate, Dublin 18.

Online quote from Fónfix for Nokia 950 is €140.00.
