My punishment for having to using bill-me-later I guess :)]]>Jul 2nd 2007 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 2:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/
har-har-har :S

According to latest EG poll about 40% of users who bought iPhones had them "dead" by 3 PM EST Sunday.

If numbers are around that (at 1 AM EST it was still 1 hour wait on iPhone activation line, at 1:30 - "due to extremely high volume of calls, we are NOT ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR CALL"), I want some real fucking measures taken.]]>Jul 2nd 2007 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/
OPEN iPhone for every network!

If Apple will open it - most GSM operators makes improvements and voicemail will be work fine anywhere. It will be like standard in all networks. Now it's just some "special" feature from awful operator (AT&T).]]>Jul 2nd 2007 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/
when you think about it, the iPhone is pretty cool-- i'd buy one, except for the fact that it is _very_ expensive. i'd much rather have a sub-$450 device that runs some sort of linux (Apple says that the iPhone runs OSX which is based off of BSD Linux) but without the phone functionality-- and a good name to back it (the sharp zaurus was great, but they had underpowered CPUs and were expensive to buy when they came out)

sorry about my grammar, it's 11:00 now :)]]>Jul 2nd 2007 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 1:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 1:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 9:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 1:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/

Is the number you are trying to port from a different area code than your current billing address? I've seen ways around that on the web.. Something about when it asks you where you will use your phone most, just make up an address that is in the same area code as your old number.]]>Jul 2nd 2007 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 2:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/

It couldn't get any worse.]]>Jul 2nd 2007 9:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/ Something that annoys me about at&t is that with my blackberry 8800 I can't use aol im. I dont think att has the rights to it. Blackberries have the software ready for it to download, but att has it locked or something. I think tmobile has the rights to it or something. I may be wrong, probably am wrong, but Im just annoyed I dont have the iphone in my hands. I check out gizmodo, engadget, cnet, howardforums every day and Im getting frustrated. I think apple will delay shipments for online orders because they dont want to overflow the att network. Less people on it, less probs i guess. Apple said in an email that july 4th id receive an email update about shipping but cmon already, why not send the damn thing out considering yall def have millions of these things sitting in some warehouse in tennessee or somewhere.]]>Jul 2nd 2007 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/
Were you guys switching from like blackberry? what company did you switch from?
Would be interesting to see if there are any relations.]]>Jul 2nd 2007 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/

When they tell you to wait and call back -- Don't

After waiting 24 hours, they told me to wait 72 hours and call back, so I freaked out at them, surprise surprise, phone is activated 5 minutes later.

THEY CAN FIX IT.

It is not a server issue.

Just be a huge nag and you won't have to wait any longer.]]>Jul 6th 2007 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/
It's bloody nightmare.

Too bad I can't look at any other phone any longer, or I would switch to Verizon already :)]]>Jul 2nd 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/Jul 2nd 2007 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/atandt-says-iphone-activation-is-improving/
