I have an old 2g Iphone, well i believe it is a 2g, it has the metal case and the slow EDGE Network. Basically the phone itself is in great shape, i dropped it only 2 times, but worked fine until today. Problem: A small area of the screen seems to not work for me any more, like by “touch”. The screen visually looks fine displays everything just fine, but say when i go to send a text message or do anything involveing typing, from the Delete button all the way to the left of screen do not work, the space button works, but like i said basically just the area of the one row of keys do not work any more… is there a way to fix it? Or im going to buy a used iphone… plz help! ---

Sucks for you. Is that part of the screen clean? I know if my finger is wet or anything it won’t pick it up. so try cleaning off the screen, might be as simple as that. ---

Did you power cycle the phone? My 3g starts acting retarded after awhile and needs a reboot from time to time. ---

I might just upgrade to 3g, but i do have an open contract, and i heard that verizon was getting sim cards, i can get a discount with verizon through work so i dont know what to do just yet, but it sucks paying almost $100 a month with the slow edge network. ---

Verizon world phones have sim card slots but you won’t be able to connect to EVDO rev A with them ---

Any blackberry, you won’t have as many apps to use but i love my storm since the OS update and the storm 2 looks even better.
