You can find screens for many PDA units at gethightech -

The Palm screens you've mentioned here would cost $25 and $35 respectively.

You're right that finding a broken unit with a good screen would be
cheaper - try ebay. As for the spec's - I don't have them, but you should
be able to get them from the developer's program at www.palmone.com

Hope this is a good start.
