    I bet your phone could count the tasks.

    There are multiple places that will add up what all of the technology in a modern phone is worth. That's a fun rabbit hole to go down when you realize that you can get a phone for $200 that holds millions of dollars worth of technology if it were 1985.

    E-mailed corporate. They called VZW Business. No physical or water damage for the 1st year = warranty replacement. "Manufacturing defect."

    Replacement Phone is due in tomorrow before Noon.

    Just wondering now, since my upgrade was only a 32GB Black S8, if they're sending me a 32GB or 64GB?

    Doesn't matter much, I run a 128GB sdcard anyway.

    My phone never left the house without a case and screen protector and could pass for brand new. If the replacement is a refurb, it had better be as like new as mine (except for the not working part.)

    While still unacceptable I would prefer $500 phone and $500 computer. My tablet($80) does all but actual phone features.

    You guys spend what you want but no $1000 phones for me.

    Two more rimfire rifles for minions 3 & 4. They have outgrown the Cricket.

    And more ammo.

    I'd spent $1,000 on a phone in a heartbeat! If it lasted at least 5 years. Barely lasting 2 years is unacceptable. Two years ago they were still subsidizing phones. Now that they aren't, and cash up front allows no discounts, no more $1,000 phones. So far, I'm liking this idea of waiting a few years and buying brand new old models on clearance. I'm not the guy that needs to be on the cutting edge of technology anyway, I just want the dang thing to work like it's supposed to.
