Uh-Oh
Last weekend, I dropped my iPhone once too often.
I'd dropped it quite a few times before, mostly because the Vaja Case I use does not grip it very well and it pops out sometimes. This time, it looks like it took a direct hit along the edge onto a cement block.
We were in Vancouver at the time. It still worked, so I used Google Maps to find we were only 5 blocks from the Apple store. We walked in and discovered that Apple stores are always too busy to do the pop in and expect to get technical assistance.
We flew home that evening and I made an appointment at the Calgary Apple store for the next day.
Yes, they could replace the screen on site, but for $250.00!!! Well, that made it pretty easy to decide to upgrade to an iPhone 3G S instead.
Faster UI. Better camera with video. And the oh so important compass.

Bouncing the iPhone off the curb makes the decision to upgrade just that much easier, hey?

Next time give these guys a try. They're in Eau Claire and are a lot cheaper than the Apple store: http://iphix.ca/repair.php
