Synscan screen

I'm searching for this LCD all over the internet, but no luck. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

As far as I know it's proprietary - and as Synta would class it as a non serviceable part you would need to replace the whole handset.

Its more really the physical construction rather than the characteristics of the display that is the issue.

So a 30 pin LCD with different sizes won't work? I'm searching for a 2nd hand Synscan controller, but couldn't find it.

Assuming it uses any industry standard it might, but then the controllers on the display may be different, or the graphical characteristics might be different (these are not two line displays - they are GLCDs).  If you fitted an off the shelf one and the damaged one used a different pin out you could risk damaging the controller itself.  My guess is that as per previous posts where screens have been cracked, if it were that simple they would have used an off the shelf replacement and documented it in those threads for future reference.

Secondhand handsets do come up for sale from time to time, but not often...
