There is this iFixit which repairs quite a few iPhone stuffs. Check this post http://iphoneindia.gyanin.com/2008/0...-iphone-parts/

I had dropped mine and cracked the glass all the way across the screen. It didn't affect the working of the phone, so I ignored it. Just last month I started having a problem with my earphones jack not working properly (I could hear music but no lyrics...very odd) and I called in and told them about the ear jack problem and arranged to send it in for repair. They sent me a "new" replacement phone free of charge since I am still in my one year warranty. Any thing wrong with your phone? We have 4 in our family and we've sent every one of them back for a repair (side volume button stuck on 2 of them; the last one just kept giving NO SERVICE messages randomly) and we all got "replacement phones" back within a few days, no charge.

I was planning on getting the iPhone 3G anyway soon after launch date but would like the original iPhone as "spare" in case battery runs dead etc. on the 3G.

Can anyone tell me the repair cost for the glass screen? It it's reasonable I'l do it after I get my new phone. Thank you in advance.

I must have been really lucky. When the iPhone first came out, I purchased 50 (5 boxes of 10), unlocked them all and sold them. Not one ever came back to me with any issues. I always told the buyers, if you have any problems, contact me straight away. I never heard a thing?

My friends also did the same as me and they never had any come back to them either.

I tried to go back and buy more iPhones, but the restrictions had been put into place by then and the Apple store would not sell me anymore. I managed to get a few from the AT&T store, but it was a pain only being able to buy 2 iPhones at a time.

I'll look into the third party repairs. They seem much more reasonable than Apple.
