I've been a happy iPhone user for a little more than a year now. While I was initial skeptical, following the hype of the original iPhone's release, using the phone on a day-to-day basis won me over.
It was kind of distressing when my phone began turning itself off, apparently at random. The iPhone is a small computer, and when you're done, it goes to sleep, but it's always ready to wake up for an alarm or an incoming call. I restored my software to a new configuration, on the advice of Apple, and the problem didn't go away. The folks at Apple were adamant that the problem was software-related -- which didn't make sense to me. I narrowed the problem down to the switch at the top of the phone sticking.
The stars and moons aligned today, and I was able to find a parking space near the AT&T Wireless store. I went in and told them about my problem, only to be told that yeah, three people today have had the same problem with the switch sticking. Unfortunately, the repair involves shipping the iPhone out to Apple and waiting, so I opted to buy a new iPhone (pictured above).
