Just to add my two cents to this conversation, http://www.ifixit.com has fantastic repair guides for all kinds of Apple products, including the iPhone (and other brands/models).
You may already know this, but they are THE resource for complete teardowns and repair information and parts. They have a repair guide for the vibrate module here<http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iPhone-3G-Vibrate-Ring-Switch/581/1> and they sell the actual part here<http://www.ifixit.com/iPhone-Parts/iPhone-3G-and-3GS-Vibrator/IF137-015> ($4.95.)
