I was happy. Technically, I still am happy. Although today it's more annoyed.
In the immortal words of Paul Harvery, and now, the rest of the story...

They were honest that since it was late in the day so I probably wouldn't get it until FRiday. No worries. Thursday around noon my replacement shows up. Way to go Verizon!
Fire up the replacement and I get:

I figure it can't connect because I'm at work and we are behind a proxy server. No worries, I'll do it at home.

No worries, still undaunted. I shut down the phone and I open my MacBook Pro, which my previous phone was synced to and plug in this new one. It fires up and I get:

Notice a trend...?
Long story short (too late?), Verizon is sending me another new one. Should be here tomorrow. Almost a week without a phone. Aside from the annoyance of spending hours on the phone trying to resolve this, not having a phone is still not that bad. My life is pretty well synced and backed up across my devices and the only thing I haven't done since my phone died is check Facebook... so it isn't bad at all...
