It's a farce in every way possible. Glad I didn't manage to get one today! - Martin Bryant

Glad I activated my first gen iPhone this AM. Took me over an hour with the server issues, but I got it done. It looks like they pulled the new firmware for first-gen users for now. Anyone else not able to update their first gen phone anymore? - Sujal Shah

It's funny. I felt guilty for downloading the firmware before it was officially released, and I've got a working 1st-gen iPhone. :P - l0ckergn0me

I feel bad for people. I'm currently looking at a working 3G iPhone and watching it do it's thing. - Candace Holly

I was able to get activated but can't connect to any data networks - Jesse McPherson

Finally got mine registered, sync'ing now... gigs of content take a long time, new tech or no - Jason Carreira from twhirl

I was a beta tester for 2.0 and I foolishly decided to upgrade this morning after Apple sent me an email saying I need to update to the final release. Now, after 3 plus hours, I'm finally activated and back in business!! Apple, you can play dirty pool at times, but I still love ya!! - Nathan Finley
