iphoen broke. now what?

screen is broken to shit and i cant afford to pay full price. what are consumers supposed to do? i took it to the apple store and they refused to touch it.

this is really frustrating, and i know im not the only one who has experienced this. somethign has to be done.

i want insurance on my ATT/APPLE. do something about it.

I'm sure there are other sites where you can send it in for repair.

has all the parts and tools you need. I've replace a screen on the 1g and it wasn't bad, the 3g looks a little more complicated though. Full instructions on that site btw.

if you broke it then tough shit. no amount of bitching is gonna get you a free phone.

now if it broke by itself then i think it could be fixed by warranty?
