Do It Yourself iphone screen repair
You can try to replace the screen yourself by getting the parts, tools, etc from third party vendors. There are several companies that provide iPhone repair services and the charges range from £150 to £250. I will list a couple of the ones I ran across:
1. INTELLIGY.BIZ – These guys will do a LCD screen replacement for around £125, which is not a bad price. They have a 30 day warranty on all parts and repairs. This is a good deal because you send it to them and let them do the actual hard work.
2.MobilePhone-Repairs – With this company, you can order all the necessary parts and then replace the screen yourself. You can either buy the entire replacement kit, which costs £180 for the iPhone 3G or just buy the replacement LCD or replacement Touch Panel for $50 and $40, respectively.
3. Dr Cell Phone – These guys will replace a cracked screen for $100. If the screen is cracked and the inner LCD is broken also, then it will cost $200. They also have a whole bunch of other services for the iPhone 3G, including repairing the Home button, replacing the microphone, replacing the battery, etc.
If you are really tech savvy and know how to fix things yourself, you can go to YouTube and watch videos of people who have repaired their phones themselves! However, I would only recommend this solution if you REALLY know what you are doing.

Both of these videos are actually from the second company mentioned above, PDAParts.

These are really all of the ways you can go about getting your screen fixed. Unfortunately, there is no easy or cheap way, unless you get super lucky at your local Apple store.
If you live in a big city, it might be worth trying to go to 3 or 4 different Apple stores and crying your eyes out when you get there! Enjoy!
