So I dropped my iphone today, and cracked it’s screen all up, tragic I know. <moment of silence please>….
But it’s still working for the time being, so that’s both good, and a sign of ok quality hardware despite the entire screen looking like a minor traffic accident. So it’s time to shop for a phone again in order to prepare for this phones ultimate demise. I heard AT&T has refurbed iphones for a steep discount, but the pricing is a little interesting for existing customers (who don’t get the really steep discount till their contract expires of course… don’t even get me started on that rant):
Note that for $150 in addition to the normal iphone 3GS 16GB Black price, you can get a refurbished iphone 3GS 16GB Black…. Such a deal, those refurbished phones must be in such high demand they are driving the price up above a brand new iphone.

Oh, You are quite fortunate you know?
In Russia iphone 3g 16gb costs $900-$2000 =)
So HTC (Hero) is more popular here
Wow that’s impressive, I swear Apple products are sprinkled with cocaine…
You should calculate it yourself which will be cheaper, the one with or without the 2-year-contract? :P
You probably got a new phone by now but I wanted to mention that it looks like you only cracked the front glass. You can get a replacement here:

It’s pretty easy to replace.
Thanks, I did in fact end up ordering one of these repair kits from another company… however I destroyed a lot of the phone getting into it. I’m pretty convinced that my phone was never intended to be taken apart, or perhaps I’m just not as disassembly-savy as I would like to think. There was just such a significant amount of glue and other things impeding getting into the phone that it made it not worth it. On other news I switched to Android Nexus one and L-O-V-E it. Now I just switch out sims when travelling, no hacking no fuss :-)
