Activation Problems in iPhone Paradise 434
Thomas Hawk writes "Unfortunately it appears that some activations of Apple's new iPhone have gone badly. After waiting in line 36 hours I'm still unable to activate my phone. I'm documenting the AT&T circus call by call on my blog. I've had my hold calls dropped, been patched into other users unable to activate their phone instead of AT&T customer service reps, been told that my wife must get a new phone and that the family plan can't work for me. I've been told that the problem is that I'm not putting a new chip into my iPhone in the slot on the left side of my phone when no slot there exists. PR Blogger Steve Rubel has also been documenting his problems on his Twitterstream. According to an unscientific poll being conducted by Engadget about half of the people who bought iPhones have had activation trouble with about 38% of problems still unresolved." Even the folks at MacWorld weren't immune to these issues.

Apple's going to fix the entire cell phone industry with the iPhone! Surely they wouldn't have chosen the worst servicing, most predatory monopolist of the cell phone industry to be their partner?

Switching can be difficult, but not nearly as bad as getting out of a cell phone contract!

Steve needs faithful followers, truly dedicated to Apple's world-changing mission. He doesn't need fair-weathered followers, who criticize him or his wonderful products.
