iPhone 3G release disrupted by activation problem
News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - July 11, 2008



Today is the big day for the iPhone 3G release but it hasn't been a smooth day. Lines have been forming at many of the Apple stores with customers anxiously waiting to get their hands on the new iPhone 3G. Some customers have been disappointed though because of problems in activating the iPhone.

The activation of the new iPhone 3G, coupled with a software update for old iPhone users, has overwhelmed Apple's Web site and cause major problems for customers. This means many customers have no phone service or cannot sync their iPhone.

Here is an official statement from AT&T: "We have had reports that customers attempting to download new iTunes 7.7 software to their new iPhone may get an error message saying 'page not found.' We have reported this issue to Apple. While Apple works to resolve this issue, we are asking customers to sync their newly activated phone later at home."

They'll work the kinks out eventually but this really puts a damper on what was expected to be a huge day for Apple.
