It just shut off within the first half hour of using it and wouldn't turn back on. Called tech support and tried everything, eventually the rep said to send it in to get replaced. I sent it in and UPS tracking info says it was delivered yesterday morning, but apple's repair site says it's still in transit. Has this happened to anyone before? What's going on?
Got a tip for us?

If you get AppleCare, they send you a replacement phone to use first, and you send your faulty one in the same box and ship it to them.
They also put a hold for $699 on your bank account. Also without AppleCare they woll do this for $30.
I called apple, they claim to have it, but say that the iPhone 4's are on backorder and there is no way to tell when I'll be getting mine. They offered to send me the phone first, although my phone was unusable anyway. So, it wouldn't have made a difference, and I'm a college student without a credit card anyway.
The OP sent thel a phone and he should get a new phone immediately. Certainly they should have stock piled a few phones for replacement.
