Tuesday my phone fell from my lap and cracked. I've had it since my birthday on August 28th, I don't use my case cause it can't fit in my waist band. i'm gonna sell it on ebay but anyone else have experiences with cracked screens on itouch/iphones?

iPhone...go open source. go android.
its easy to get the screens replaced. just a little pricy.

go to the apple store they replace it for like $130 no questions asked



tough luck dude

Way to fail.

Mine was $300 new I saw a cracked screen iphone 3G 16GB go for $360 yesterday on ebay so i'll probably sell it and get another.

I dont think any provider covers accidental damage
i love verizons product replacement though you just walk in with a broken product and walk out with a new one for free

verizon covers accidental.. its 50 bucks for a new phone whether it was lost/damaged/stolen/etc

I have the 16GB I bought for $300 but you can only buy with service so I guess people who want to unlock it are willing to pay more to not pay the activation fee.(kina redundant)

[Hellokitty]

From those who own it, any of you guys recommend it?

[travis]

no

Don't get an iPhone. Unless it's free.

My boyfriend has an iphone he got them when they first came out. The screen is dead. Well not really. It works just fine but its covered in cracks theres even chunks of glass missing. Their insurance for it is ridiculous. I can't believe it only covers manufacturer mistakes.

[Seaner]

Asus is the only manufacturer I've seen that will cover accidental damage. Why does this seem so unreasonable to some people? Don't drop your 800 dollar phone or put it in a case that will provide some padding.

if its a warranty issue, all carriers will replace the device at no charge.
If damaged, then your insurance deductible applies and even then, you get a refurbished device.

Verizon does not just hand you a phone if you break yours. You call insurance and they send one to you in mail. Or you buy full retail.

Tmobile, AT&T, Rogers, Sprin/Nextel all industry standard for replacements.

Iphones are available for $399.99 to anyone with an AT&T account.

I was at a party one tme and some bastard decided that he'd jump on my phone...it cost me $160. I was like BARGAIN! I recommend an iPhone to just about everyone, however I will admit there are alot of duds out there.

my friend has an iphone and has dropped it several times onto concrete floors during class and his never broke or anything

[awe]

I've dropped mine several time before too but it cracked in this instance.
