"Why on earth is everyone so het up about all of this? Chill out a bit. Okay, so it's not Apple's finest hour. But they'll fix it because they have to. So your phone is out of action for, what, a couple of days? Big deal. Go outside, get some fresh air, enjoy your temporary freedom from that pesky boss and that pesky wife. It's no catastrophe. It's a blip."

For you, it might be just a blip. For many people, not being available on the phone when you're required to be can be cause for discipline - or it could even be a breach of contract that could result in you getting fired.

Heaven help you if you ever needed to dial the emergency services and were unable to because your phone was just "having a blip". What's the point in having a mobile phone if you can't rely on the service provision?
