I know the feeling. I got an iPod touch last year in April for my birthday. You quickly get use to it and they quickly become addictive as an everyday tool. I dropped it in may, broke the digitizing lens. I decided to try to fix it myself. The repair from the apple shop was $179.00 at the time and I thought bugger that I'm going to get a new digitizer from eBay for $25.00... 4 months later I was still trying to source the right parts and buttons. I ended up giving it to a mate whose company specialises in mobile phone repairs and they are now accredited for apple stuff too. Even they had problem sourcing the right bits. So my recommendation is go through the
official channels and get it fixed. Not worth the stuffing around. Apple clearly did its homework in making sure every units sold in different geographical areas have subtle differences, like connectors or layouts being mirrored, etc... and on top of all this some parts are heat-glued.
