There's some info on in-shop repairs here -
http://theappleblog.com/2009/[....]phone-displays-while-you-wait/ - that's all in the US mind, not sure if it applies to UK stores.
The hitch is the whole warranty thing - if the glass is broken because your friend broke it somehow (other than some form of manufacturing defect) it won't be covered, so in all probability it'll cost him.

Cool cheers. Was digging around also and came up with the same topic - eventually! Indeed it looks like it's only covered if the crack(s) in the glass are due to a manufacturing defect.. otherwise it'll cost £130 (or $199). Still, personally I don't think it's too bad...but perhaps as in this case her warranty runs out on 21st July, might as well try one of these third party places (which'll void the warranty obviously) or a DIY (for her though, probably not a good idea!!!)
Maybe if 'you' only had the phone a couple of months I reckon it's definitely worth paying Apple to ££ to do it in order to keep the warranty intact

Yep, not the cheapest thing in the world, but not the end of the world at that price either - worth it if you're still under contract and/or warranty for a while yet.
They should bring back the metal back and put tempered glass on the next one, you'd never need another phone..

I'm running a 3G S, Omnia HD, Pixon, Storm, Renoir, concurrently , the Apple cam is still pretty much garbage, at least it's marginally better than the storms

Yeh I can't understand why on earth u added that to your collection when you've got the Bold for BB means, and the iPhone really can't be beaten ATM for touch screen goodness

I had a play around with the storm a few weeks ago.. very strange beast. The screen couldn't feel more breakable if they tried, the whole idea of pushing it in as one big giant button feels so clunky and odd - it's like the designers started off with a list of everything that's good about a traditional Blackberry, and everything that's good about touchscreen phones, and then decided to create the exact opposite of both!

Oh btw, got my replacement from Apple on Saturday, swapped out for a new one without question. Extended limited warranty until Oct now which is good, but hopefully I will have a 3GS by then...
Dare I say it as well that I was using the iPhone unjailbroken up until last night and I was actually enjoying the fact that it just works, no slow down etc. However, I got too pissed off with the poor Push Notification system and had to JB just to install GriP. I'm trimming back this time though, no WinterBoard or themes for the moment...

They each have pro's and con's, which is exactly why i will never settle on just one device
