Yes I agree... I don't know why people were complaining so much when Apple Servers went down... It was down for only 5 - 6 hours.... Less than a day... Not a big deal... Now there servers are back up, people can stop complaining! ]]>Jul 11th 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/iphone-activation-servers-back-online-stock-updates-from-around/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/iphone-activation-servers-back-online-stock-updates-from-around/
No, it's a reference to something that's actually useful.

The local Mobistar store I checked out only had 3 (2 Black 8GB, and 1 White 16GB). Word was out that Black 16GB would be hard to get in the coming days. Some Apple Premium Resellers did not get their shipment in time, and in general had far fewer units at hand than the Mobistar shops. At the flagshipstore 6000 people signed up to get one of the 300 available units.

Some stores created (illegally) waiting/reservation lists; some with >200 people registered knowing that some stores will only get 9 units/week delivered - that's a long wait.

Official complaints are made for bundled sales (illegal in Belgium), with existing mobistar customers getting prioritised, and some stores not wanting to sell to people not taking a mobile subscription (illegal!). Mobistar now states that Apple is at fault for low # shipments.

No word on new shipments/availability

Man, it was a frakin' circus this morning!!! I think the first 20 people were in the store for at least an hour if not longer. After that 2 or 3 people would trickle (and I mean a t...r...i...c...k...l...e...) in maybe every 10-15 minutes. I did not anticipate the demand nor the technical SNAFUs at all. The Apple employees were very, very nice and patient with the line.

4.5 hour battery life? Ugh - you've got to be kidding me. 3G coverage spotty at best. The outside technology really needs to mature to be charging prices like this. It's not so much the $199 hardware price, but the insane idea that you HAVE to use AT&T and you're stuck with very little flexibility.]]>Jul 11th 2008 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/iphone-activation-servers-back-online-stock-updates-from-around/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/iphone-activation-servers-back-online-stock-updates-from-around/Jul 11th 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/iphone-activation-servers-back-online-stock-updates-from-around/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/iphone-activation-servers-back-online-stock-updates-from-around/Jul 11th 2008 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/iphone-activation-servers-back-online-stock-updates-from-around/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/iphone-activation-servers-back-online-stock-updates-from-around/

I think its safe to say that the iphone uers are in a little more of a situation right now than the music player users are.
