Customer Service...don't read if you want to hear me bitch

Had a very good experience with customer service the other day and as we all know, no good experience goes unpunished.

My i-phone had the power button get stuck in the down position, while not rendering my phone useless it was a pain in the ass.  So I call in to verizon, go through the obligatory questions (did you turn it off? have you pressed the button? has the phone been run over by a tank?).  They really need a way to verify that you have not gone "full retard" so you can bypass all the trickery they use to find out if you are a 88 yr old woman with an i-phone.

Anyway, pass a few of the tests and I had the replacement on the way in under 20 min.  The dude on the phone was a bit chatty, but other than that it was on the way with little issue.  I received it in 3 days, backed up the phone and I am back in the land of being able to turn off my screen to save the battery.

Thank you Verizon and to Bob the friendly service rep that told me all about his fantasy football team while he was trying to get the warranty information from Apple.  

Update on iPhone

Big fan of the otterbox camo case for the iPhone, works like a champ...you know what else works like a champ, red wine.  It is quite delicious.

So I broke down and finally gave up on my android POS (piece of shit) phone that I had fought with for 2 years.  Apparently the strain of my day to day was more than it could bear.  I have joined the league of hipster douchebags and bought an iPhone. 

Upon purchasing this phone I am fully qualified to lecture you on: global warming, tight jeans, economics, going green, eating right (read vegan), tom's shoes, wide rim glasses, buckwheat pillows, health effects of green tea, vintage everything, being ironic, why you should be ironic too!, fair trade coffee, the plight of the (insert country here), lightbulbs, living in my moms basement, trying to find a job "that pays"(read 150k right out of college), deforestation, raising chickens, WWF (not the wrestling one), WWF ( the wrestling one), comic books, paul frank, physics, "being metro", why being metro gets chicks, occupying anything, douche canoes, and why being a hipster is cool.

I'm not saying that having an iPhone makes you a hipster douchebag, but it might. 

 In all honesty this is a pretty badass phone, I can see what the hype is about.

They also make a case that has realtree camo.
