Cell Hell

On Saturday night I lost my iPhone. Fortunately it was found (yay!). Unfortunately, it doesn’t work anymore. After months of terrible battery life, now it won’t power up at all, despite my best efforts and those of Apple tech support. To add insult to injury, my Nokia e71, which was working fine, now won’t start up either, and tells me to “Contact retailer.” Wonderful.

Fortunately Apple is sending an advance exchange replacement iPhone, thanks to my buying AppleCare.

In short, don’t try calling me on my cell any time in the next few days.
