iPhone screen just cracked, but still working. Repair Cost?
Hello,
I have an 8GB iPhone and just noticed that the screen is cracked near the earpiece (fortunately not anywhere on the touchscreen area itself). I feel confident that with some babying it will last at least until July 11 launch date for new model. 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. George

Someone recently replaced the screen themselves. He posted his screen replacing adventure on this forum somewhere (search for it). He paid a fraction of what Apple were going to charge him.
