My iPhone (1st Gen) is no longer able to recognize when I touch it at the very bottom of the screen. The only way this effects me is when I have the keyboard up I cant hit the 123, spacebar, or send.

Is there some way I can fix this? I've tried restoring but that didn't do the trick. Is this something that I can take in and have fixed?

Off to the Genius Bar with you. Though I'm willing to bet they'll probably just recommend you get a new phone.

I have a similar feeling.. – TrentEllingsen Sep 1 '10 at 0:16
I only say it because I had an iPod battery go bad once outside of the warranty and the price to replace it was almost as a new one. I was told that was pretty much Apple's strategy when it came to mobile devices. – Philip Regan Sep 1 '10 at 0:20

Turns the phone upside down and hope that the app you are using supports that orientation :)

They might do 1G here. Worked great when I busted my 3GS screen.
