  The tagline: Cheer Up, It Could Be Worse. Well, I cheered up, and it

  The cellphone did arrive in tact, but the way the email was worded
yesterday, it appeared it had been stolen. I got it home, charged it
up, migrated all the apps (thanks to home Wi-Fi), and now am waiting

then to wait on hold forever and a day.
