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:

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...
