They're commonly sold on eBay as 'Replace Nokia 5110 LCD'. They're only pin compatible though, as instead of 84x48x1 they're 128x128x16, with a totally different protocol!
I just did a driver - it handles palletted mode as well: http://www.espruino.com/ILI9163
Also just made some changes to SPI.write too so it can keep up around 4Mbps, which makes the whole thing a lot more usable (although still a little slow for my liking). Screen refreshes are around 300ms - so ok, but not really up to animations.
