The only downside of this issue is that there are no apple stores near my state at all. Its a 6 hour round trip from my town to the nearest apple store. Also we can't do the exchange for an iphone because of the micro-SIM card. No other ATT phone can use a micro-SIM card, at least one that I own. So I have a little bit of a harder time getting my phone replaced. Dang it!
Well have you considered calling Apple care? You can do it over by the phone. They have the Advanced replacement system. Normally here is how this works. You call them, ask them to send you a replacement, you will need your credit card here for they will put a temporary charge on your account. They will ship two things. One with the phone (white box), another box, that is black and is empty. Upon receiving the replacment phone, you have to ship the defected one back (which you put it on the black box). You have 20 days (I think). When Apple receives your defected phone, the charge on your account will be credited back to you. This way you still have a phone on you while your defected one comes back.
