This reader reports about delayed messages on the iPhone:

I have HAD IT WITH APPLE!!! I have had all sorts of problems with my iPhone, the most recent being that I’m not receiving most of my texts,calls or voicemails until minutes to hours after they were placed. I spent weeks on the phone trying to troubleshoot with the “Genius” staff at Apple, and that’s the biggest joke I’ve EVER heard. They were USELESS! We have finally determined that it is indeed a problem with the phone itself, but Apple won’t do anything to fix the problem. Instead I’m being told my only option is to buy a new phone. I already foolishly invested $600 in this phone and can’t fathom the thought of blowing more money on the same piece of junk. Don’t get me wrong, there are numerous things I admire in this phone, but the fact that it wasn’t built to last more than a year is ridiculous!!! I’ve never dealt with such piss poor customer service in my life!
