My friend broke his iphone 2G glass screen. If he takes it to an Apple store, will they fix it or give him a new 3G? If they do fix or trade, how much will they charge for it?

Thnx

Here's the choice he's got, he can get the screen fixed for $250, which will completely replace the phone or the screen I'm not sure exactly which one. The other option of course would be to buy an iPhone 3G for $200, but he would pay at least $15 more a month. Now the other options he has is to sell it cracked on ebay, which will probably bring in $150 if he unlocks it or fix it ($250) and then sell it online unlocked for possibly more. Basically it comes down to whether he wants a 3G now and pay $15 more a month or keep his 2G and pay $250 to fix it. Personally, I would sell the 2G unlocked cracked or uncracked and buy the 3G, its worth the GPS and faster speeds.

Hope that helps!
