Apple iPhone 3G
handset warranty help please
i have an iphone 3g that i would like apple to do a warranty exchange on. I have had the phone since 11/08 and have recently been having issues with the phone powering off. I went into the apple store... and after waiting 30 mins to get help the rep told me he has to see the issue to swap me out. Unfortunately I didnt have all day to stand around and wait for it to pwr off, the rep only hung out with me for about 5 mins anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the right thing to say is to get an exchange? I dont live very close to the nearest store and would rather not waste my time driving out there again just to be turned away in 5 minutes after waiting an hour to get help. Thanks very much for the help.

DHL delivered a special paid box on Tuesday, put the computer in, handed in back to DHL. Apple got it on Wednesday, fixed it had it back to DHL th...
