Reine, just for you:
I cracked the hell out of my iPhone screen slipping on the still-uncleared Baltimore ice the other day. Miraculously, the touch function still works, but the cracks make it hard to read.
Apple wants $199 to replace the screen.
So I ordered a new 3GS 16G model, which arrives tomorrow. Twice the capacity of the old one.
But only after I found a tech lassie on Craigslist here in Baltimore who will fix the old 3G 8 for $65.
Once I’ve sold it on eBay I should just about break even.
Take that, Apple!
