I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the irony thread; as this does have a bit of an ironic twist.
My 3GS was approaching it's first birthday, and of course the battery life isn't quite what it used to be. Based entirely on this thread I made an appointment at the Genius Bar of the Apple store to have them look at the phone to see if the battery qualified to be replaced. I will give credit where it is due; the "genius" who was looking after me also noticed a signal strength issue; so he didn't just replace the battery; he gave me a whole new phone. Yes, still another 3GS- but that's good enough for me.
So here's the ironic part. I'm in there to get my battery replaced; based upon our discussions here about whether the iPhone should have a user removable battery. Well, the guy looking after me had been entering everything onto his iPhone; and it crashed in the middle of helping me. He was unable to bring it back by doing a soft reset; to which I sarcastically said "maybe you need to remove the battery to do a hard reset." His response "Yeah, I'll do that after we are done."
