3rd time better be the charm

As of 12:30PM today, I’m on to my 3rd iPhone.

Phone 1 died when I dropped it.   Apple was awesome, they replaced it no questions asked.

Yesterday morning, I woke up and all of a sudden the bottom dock area of the phone stopped responding.  I could unlock the phone since the slider is a little bit higher, but I couldn’t actually get to any dock items.  This makes using the phone a bit… difficult.  Actually, impossible.  I figured out that double-tapping the home button to get to favorite would let me dial those people.  My sister was smart enough to point out that I could then add anyone I wanted to the favorites list and call them.

No SMS, no email, no maps searching, since all those require you hitting the nice button in the lower right.

Made an appointment at the apple store, went in, and walked out 15 min later with yet another new phone.   Great service, all is working well.  For now.  Let’s hope that phone #3 lasts for a longer while.
