My sister-in-law was using my iPhone this past weekend and was having trouble typing the letter “T” on its little virtual keyboard.  After I tried it out, I figured that yes, this is not working.  PANIC!  I headed off to the Genius Bar at the Mall of America Apple store today at lunch.  Apparently one of the more common problems they have had with the phones are that a strip of the touch sensitive material goes bad and you get a dead spot.

They gave me a new phone (which I’m sure is just a refurbished unit) and everyone is happy. Great service!

I will be MUCH happier on July 11th when I will have the new model!  Yes…you can call me a fan boy now.
