I bought a Samsung SGH-S300 three months ago, and a couple of weeks ago the screen went blank. Like you, I figured all was well...all I had to do was fall back on the warranty.

As you already know if the phone is not marketed by the company, there is no way you can replace it.
The 1 year warranty is provided by Samsung, not the carrier who sold you the phone.
