I'm assuming handset support in the US is the same as the EU, where for smart phones, you normally deal with the manufacturer, not the carrier ( i.e. If my iPhone or iPad breaks, I call Apple - not O2).

The iPhone is unique in that aspect, support is almost always done through the carrier in the US. Probably because handsets are almost always sold subsidized through the carrier (and frequently customized for them).
