Apple iPhone dies (or) How many ways I find to say the word NOTHING.

I am numb.

It is my sad duty to inform you that my new iPhone 3G S died today @ approximately 2P Central Time.

I was riding around with S doing nothing in particular. Had finished shopping @ HEB Central Market and asked if I could use the car charger as I had noticed earlier that the battery was getting low.  Plugged it in and Nada.  No familiar beep of the interface between phone and charger. Nothing.  I tried to turn it on but the screen was black.  Tried the familiar reset technique of holding the sleep and home buttons at the same time.  Not anything. Returned home and plugged it into my home computer.  Zilch. 

Drove to the North Star Apple Store after letting iPhone charge for an hour and headed to the Genius Bar.  Teenage Emo boy stopped me before I could get to the counter.  He said they were completely booked with appointments today but that I could set one for tomorrow.  I told him I needed to have my phone replaced today but he said there was nothing they could do without an appointment.  I think he could have offered to see if they had appointments at the La Cantera Apple store location. Zero.

S says I should be angry but I am only dead. Like my 37 day old iPhone 3G S.  Had the original iPhone for two years without one single incident or problem.  We shall see if Apple is able to resurrect or replace my iPhone tomorrow?  And it better not be for naught.
