After mass hysteria across America, users have begun settling down with their iPhones and attempting to activate them via iTunes.
AT&T’s remote activation system appears to be seriously bottle necked with some users waiting over 8 hours for activations to come through. (Mac Rumors, Apple Support, Howard Forums)
While waiting for activation the iPhone is unusable, just displaying a screen allowing only emergency calls.

Never fear - it’s just that old hateful SBC bloodline spewing out of the so called new at&t - those southern “good old boys” from down here in Texas just aren’t going to learn the ways of modern marketing - for them it all about control and watching there fat bellies grow!
Hell I’m surprised they got as far as they did without mess up!
Maybe it time for job’s and company to starting looking for that “backdoor” in the contract so they can open iPhone to the world!
After all SBC/at&t management’s bellies are large enough!
Also I was wonder just how many folks who went out and bought the iPhone are facing $500.00 deposits this morning from our so called friends at at&t because of so called credit issues.
That’s one of SBC/at&t - long standing tricks for padding there pocketbooks
And yes, just as soon as version 2 hits the street or the end of Q4/07 show up - I’ll bit the bullet and sign up - maybe by then at&t will be offering a “contract free plan” for all of us old folks who are on fixed incomes.
