broken screen

My screen is broken.

Can it be repaired? I am not sure if thh touchscreen is also broken or just the display.

If it cannit be repaired? is there anyway I can retrieve the data from my phone?

I tried connection to PC companion, but then i need to also do things on my phone (which i can't now because of a broken screen) to get my x8 connected with my computer. Is there a way to get around this?

Where are my contacts saved? in the internal phone memory or in the memory card? if on memory card could i just read my contacts info on my computer with a crad reader.

please help me.

http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php Try using My Phone Explorer to connect your phone to the PC, and see if you can retrieve your data that way.This application will read contacts from phone and SIM card memory.

do you see a crack on the upper most layer of the screen that's the digitizer/touch screen, if you do then you need to replace both the LCD and the Digitizer. In some models they come together

I see cracks, but I don;t know what layer.
I guess you mean I have to open the phone, I haven't opened it yet. I see I need a Torq screwdriver, I don't have one.

Then when opened do you mean I can see two layers, and if only the lower layer is broken i only need new lcd screen, if both are broken I need the digitizer too?
