Re: Didn't this happen last time?

not surprised when you force people to activate in store you'd think they'd be ready!

And aside from any iPhone 2.0 & iTunes problems, the mandated in-store activation has created large lines at the Apple stores slowing day one sales quite a bit.

Those that want the device that bad on day 1 have been waiting... they'll just have a wait a little longer.
In a day or 2, there will be no lines.

Those that want the device that bad, are nuts anyway. Let them stand in lines all day. They didn't expect that? Almost as dumb as Apple not expecting the server loads!

Also, those users upgrading their original iPhones to the 2.0 firmware are being bricked at a prodigious rate. Seems the last step of an iPhone 1 upgrade is to connect to the App store to complete activation of the upgrade. Problem is that the App store is buried and can't keep up.

Not really...

What is "dumb" are people who are wrapped into the apple is the only worthy OS / company on the planet... and end up getting butt pounded by Apple (ie.. iphone price drop , iphone locked to a single carrier with a piss poor 3G deployment..etc..)

Take your blinders off there "little turtle"!

Prediction: By Monday the stock will be over $180 again as "the street" decides that something that sells well enough to crash servers is a good thing.

I hope so. My IRA needs a boost with the way the market has been. I'm hoping they'll split soon.

unlikely, but a nice thought non the less, I'd love to buy a bunch of Apple stock at half it's current price.

Yup, for a good 2-3 days. It was not fun to be on the other end of the phone when customs called in to bitch.

Mozilla when Firefox 3 came out on download day also ended up killing their site as well. It's hard to predict how many people at one time are going to be loading things up.

My motto is "If you are going to do something, do it right the first time". Has AT&T ever done anything right the first time. I don't think so. That is why I stick with VZW.

This whole situation has absolutely nothing to do with AT&T and everything to do with Apple.

It's AT&T's responsibility to ensure they provide working equipment to their paying customers. It does have to do with AT&T and Apple.

Um, you are aware that AT&T doesn't exist outside the US, and that this issue was worldwide, right? This is an Apple issue. Absolutely nothing to do with AT&T.
