There should be a model number on the box the phone came in and on the back of the phone (under the battery I think). If it ends in 002 its AMOLED, 003 is SLCD.

Yeah there is a model number in the upper left corner of the label under the battery adr6300vw3 or vw2 will be there vw2 is amoled vw3 is slcd. You can also see this in settings> about phone> hardware information the first entry will be 003 or 002.

That's right, vw2 or vw3. Under settings>about phone its 002 or 003, but since his screen is smashed I don't think that'll help.

To add to that question, does it make a difference to the phone which screen is on it. Could you order an amoled and replace a slcd or vice versa?

It use to make a difference when it first came out for rooting it. If you rooted it with unrevoked it would brick your phone or wreck it in some way. When I just recently replaced my phone at best buy I had an amoled and it got replaced with an slcd unfortunately.

If you're replacing the digitizer though, it doesn't matter. The actual display screen is below that. Good luck replacing the digitizer, it's a serious PITA. Lots of sticky foam must be cut away and then you need to apply new sticky stuff. The display screen is easy enough, but the digitizer...PITA.
