THIS IS A DISASTER I CAN BELIVE WHAT APPLE HAS DONE TO US, I WAS TRYING TO UPDATE MY IPHONE WITH 2.0 AND COULD NOT DO IT THE RESTORE AND I CANT SO I AM WITH OUT PHONE THANK YOU APPLE

I'm in London. I got to the Apple Store at 7am and was let in at 8am. As we walked in the staff were whooping and cheering - it was all a bit embarrassing given that this is the UK and not the US. It seemed very put on... anyway...

We stood in line for aaaaages as we slowly heard that the o2 database was having trouble keeping up with the orders. Stood in line in the shop for about an hour. Once I was taken by a member of staff to activate the phone we sat there and entered my details again and again and again as it kept hanging up again and again...

45 minutes later I left the shop without and iPhone because I'd have been fired had I been even later to work.

I knew I should have stood on my own outside the tiny Carphone Warehouse on the corner but I thought that it might be fun to stand and chat with other nerds and seeing as the rumours were that the Store would have LOADS and all the other o2 and Carphone Warehouse stores were supposed to have only a couple of dozen each, I thought it would be a good idea to guarantee myself my first iPhone. Looked like I backed the wrong horse.

I'm going back tonight but I'm not counting my chickens on that one.

apparently you are unable to write without CAPS as well. rough day for you.

I tried updating my original iPhone to 2.0 and after it loaded the software which took an hour because it kept timing out, now its attempting to connect to iTunes which it can't. I get the same error as above.

So now my iPhone is a brick until the iTunes traffic goes down but who knows when that will happen.

I'm very unhappy! Apple should have realized this and released the 2.0 software yesterday so people would be hitting the Apple Store in stages. Not all at once!!!!!

I've got an unactivatable iphone. Kinda spoiling the moment

They gave me my phone unactivated, saying to activate it at home. That was an hour ago... still trying to get it activated.

Updated to software 2.0 and itunes is still trying to connect to AT&T.. 4hrs now without a iphone.

GRRR! I've been waiting since 10:00 this morning to get my iPod touch updated, and the Apple server is still down. I say they give us the update for free for not keeping their end of the deal. 8:00 AM...Pfft!

I'm PISSED !! This sucks!! I loved my iPhone. We were considering getting 3 more for our salesmen in our family business. Don't know now...... Started the 2.0 update @ 9:00am EST, on my pre-3G iPhone. Nothing yet....

Local ATT store sold out of them (2 people in front of me). They said to come back tomorrow, that they will be getting a new shipment and that the line wouldn't be as bad. Not willing to risk that, I signed up for "direct ship" where they ship one to the store and call/email you when it comes in. Better to get a phone Mon or Tues instead of wasting time waiting again!

Near the end, the stock was down to six 16G with one (black) 8G...looks like white is NOT a popular color.

Estimate that the ATT store had 40-60 phones. The line wrapped around to the back of the store. The first guy in line got there 2 PM on Thursday. If you weren't in line before 6 AM you got no phone today.

Got my wife's phone activated with the upgrade to 2.0. Bricked mine but I consider it lucky... Could have bricked my wife's phone too.......

I am running off the original 8gb, that was originally sold on Launch day (6/29) - I have had no issues with it, and was lucky enough to have been passed by, by the original activation lag, that many of the first purchasers had been subdued. Now, a little over a year later with hopes of an eventual 32gb 3G release and plans to wait for it, I began the update process to the 2.0 Firmware. - - - It's been over an hour since the 'restore' and I still can't move into the re-activation of the phone. On many posts, people are saying that the servers had crashed for activation due to the worldwide launch of the 3G model only hours apart.
So for anyone who is upset about this, try to just let it ride, with any launch of a highly anticipated product there are flaws. It happened on the original launch day, and again now. Being left without a phone for a couple of hours; maybe at worst case scenario a day or two, wont be the end of the world... We lived without cellphones prior to their invention and although mine is with me at all times and I use it more frequent than most, its just easier to see it as the inevitable and wait until the activation servers are back up. It's not the end of the world, just one of those things we've got to build a bridge and get over it.

AT&T stores in Rhode Island received from 10 to 60 phones to sell. They expect a similar amount tomorrow. All stores were sold out within the first hour, although people queued up until 11 AM to hear the bad news.

The first few buyers at 8:00 AM were able to leave with activated phones. However by 8:30 things were not working well at all. By 9:00 it was totally dead. By 10:30 AM, AT&T management decided to sell the remaining phones in bricked format for uses to activate at home.

Given my zero success at updating an existing iPhone touch to 2.0, I'd say there is about a zero percent chance that anybody trying to activate from home will be successful.

Apple has screwed the pooch for the second time. Enterprise computing is clearly NOT their forte.

Waited for 4 hours at an Apple store only to be told that AT&T thinks I'm a corporate customer, and so can only puchase an iPhone at an AT&T store. I'm absolutely not a corporate customer. I get the bills, I pay them, no corporations of any sort involved. 4 wasted hours, and of course now AT&T is out of phones. Thanks a lot AT&T!

i waited til afternoon to upgrade my first-generation iPhone: I downloaded the 2.0 software to my computer (went very quickly) and installed it (took about 20 minutes). Works fine.

I downloaded four apps to the computer and then sync'd them to the phone. All work well. I especially like mlb.com (instant scores and game details, and nice video highlights) but some freebies are good too, including apple's make-my-iphone-a-remote, weatherbug (i like the radar view, though the implementation doesn't seem to utilize the locate me function, at least not with a first-gen phone) , and aol radio.

I downloaded box office and jott directly to my phone and they're working well, nice little apps too.

so it's been a pretty gratifying execution for me. I feel the pain of those who had major difficulties. They too will pass.

Lastly, i've noticed "locate me" for the first time locates my house precisely (though still only when wi-fi is turned on; otherwise it puts me five miles, a river and a county away!). Either the new software has improved the function, or skyhook has finally integrated into its database the MAC addresses of routers in and near my home. Getting that done was supposed to take two weeks; it's been a couple of months. Better late than never, i guess.
