The very first week my iPhone 4 was released, I got one. When I got home, I promptly dropped into a mug of coffee. I couldn’t do that again if I tried. It was a perfect drop, all net...no rim.
You should have seen the grief that Verizon gave me.
Bummer. Hopefully you were able to retrieve all your data some way. I remember when the 4 came out, and I got one that week too. I wound up giving it to my wife that week, as she really liked it and I still couldn’t quite part with my Blackberry yet, so I waited until the 5 came out.
