I bought an iPhone last Saturday. I came home, activated the iPhone through iTunes (Windows 7), and it told me new firmware was available. I pressed the update button, iTunes said everything was going smoothly, only to give me an error halfway through the process, bricking my new phone. :(

Luckily, the T-Mobile people told me how to fix it, but still, what the hell Apple?

Did that with my ipod touch two weeks ago. Its something to do with itunes. I had to take my ipod touch back. I opened the box and the first thing I did was to check for new firmware. Started to update and 3 minutes later it was broken. I wasn't impressed.

T-Mobile told you how to fix your AT&T iPhone?

Nobody said he was American...

T-Mobile does not exist in only the US. Hell, it's owned by a German company (Deutsche Telekom). Visit T-Mobile's German site and you will see that they indeed carry the iPhone, so perhaps Bas is from Germany.

It didn't brick your phone. You could recover it.
