iPhone broke :(

Yesterday my iPhone 3G started to have fun on it’s own. I got a text message and tried to read it but it just made screen shots every time I pressed the home button another screenshot.

And as most of us know you make a screen shot by holding the power button and pressing the home key. So guess what happened to my iPhone 3G, yes the power button got stuck. I noticed for a couple of months now that the buttons was a bit crooked but didn’t think to much of it. After a while I got the button unstuck but I need my phone so I decided to go visit the Apple store.

To see a genius you need to have an appointment but there is a standby list that you can be put on but you can’t leave the store and you don’t know how long you have to wait.

After just over 30 minutes and my name was called. The gentleman that helped me was very helpfull after a couple of minutes he decided to swap my phone.

They had the phone in stock and he did the sim card transfer and of I went. This of course now left me with and empty iPhone with not even a contact in it. And the SMS I got in the morning was gone to so. Of to home where I plugged my it in to itunes and was asked if I would like to restore or setup a new iphone I tried the restore but that did not work because the firmware of the new iPhone 3G was older then the backup. So first I needed to do the update. I did and then I wanted to get my phone restored but how do you do that?

I checked all the menu’s but didn’t find anything and then after a while I found it just click right on you iphone icon in Itunes and there it is 🙂

It takes a long time to get your backup restored but I even got a phone call in the middle so that was nice that that still works.

So now I am happy with my new phone thanks for the great service of Apple. I was supriced that they didn’t send me back to the store where I bought the phone. Next time my phone breaks (if ever) i will be at the Apple store 🙂
