Ahh, you forgot to release the battery from the mounting before tearing the battery out.
I did exactly the same thing with an iPhone 4 just before the 4s was released.
In my case it actually tore the contacts from the board making it impossible to solder it back on.
I tried, and had mixed results with the phone working for a few minutes at a time at best but my story does not have a happy ending.
I ended up buying a new phone and giving away the 4 for spares in the end.
Depending on the damage done, there might be a chance you can solder a new connector on if you have a good soldering iron.
Replacement battery connectors can be obtained on eBay, I recall that's what I did.
I'm just hoping you didn't loose the contacts from the board like I did.
