Try calling again and try again for a free one. Sometimes it just depends how nice the representative you happen to be talking to is.

Did you try restarting the iPhone, iTunes and your computer? Seriously, most of the problems can be fixed by doing that.

The phone shouldn't just 'die'... did you drop it? get it wet? jail break it?

Have you tried other chargers to see if you can charge it? If it just the phone that does not take a charge then you will need to go to an apple store but if the warranty is over than u will end paying for it.

As cool as iPhones are, I think my phone is exactly the same for less. The LG Dare. I can go on the internet, watch YouTube, it has a MP3 player. And the plan is way cheaper. It just doesn't have those apps, which seem pointless. But I've never heard a story of a Dare breaking and I've heard many of the iPhone dying.

Well of course you'd hear about more iPhones dying, they are more popular and there are more of them out there. More people are going to be talking about the hip and popular thing more than something like my LG ENv2. The iPhones failure rate is at around 10%, which is fairly decent.

Hey, I have a story that will make you feel better..
I have to pay a $230 phone bill for texting, because AT&T switched off my unlimited texting on me. Because I was on a "trial" plan for it, which apparently expired, so instead of just charging me for the unlimited text plan, they charged me .25 for every text sent during the month of July. $237.25. And in the end, I really get nothing back from it

I have a Palm Pre. You know what's awesome about it? It's not an iPhone. Also, if I have an issue with it, I take it in to the Sprint store, tell them the issue. If they can't resolve it, I get a brand new one. Free. So, yeah.

Thats the same phone i have and i abuse mine and nothing happens. I mean i don't throw it against walls or drop it in water but it does fall and what not and never had a problem i love it. How do you watch youtube on it?
