Bright and Shiny

So in regard to the iPhone problems I described here… we finally went to the Apple Store Genius Bar about 40 minutes ago. After doing a full system restore to factory state first to make sure it wasn’t a software problem… it wasn’t, duh… the problem showed it’s face again in under 10 minutes… they decided to call it a battery issue and swapped me out with a bright shiny (OK, probably refurbished, but brighter and shiner than what I went in with) replacement phone. They charged us $79, which was less than I expected.

So as soon as I get home and do a restore from my last backup, my phone should be in better shape than it has been in a long time. Woo. I can live with that.
