Hi,
This post is more relevant for PIC/AVR users living in the UK.
I have just bought several Nokia 3310 LCD screens and have checked out one of them after they arrived. It appears to be working fine displaying what I wanted with good contrast. I can't tell if they are new or not but at less than £1 a piece(after one factor in the cost of P+P), it doesn't matter.
Beware, order quantity more than one would attract another additional P+P of £0.29 each and I guess that's how the seller made up his profit via P+P. Though it is quite reasonable even at this price + postage.
I don't know the seller and this is my first deal with him. As of writing this post(5-APR-2008) there are still 170+ available on the eBay page.
These graphic LCDs works at 3.3V max and are very suitable for interfacing to the PIC or AVR, using SPI or just bitbang mode. The connector is just big enough for wiring hand soldering so connection will not be a problem. The datasheet of its controller is available in pdf and there are plenty code examples and applications available on the web.
Use this search phase in Google to search: "pcd8544 filetype: pdf" , note no space between colon & pdf or else one gets instead

Edited: added Google datasheet search info
