Well folks, get out your patience for the v2.0 update on the older iPhones. I tried the update this morning. Took about 10 tries to get it to download, all the while having the iTunes part tell me that my v1.1.4 was the most current. (Not a good sign to start.) Finally got things rolling with the software and firmware, and then bam, iPhone got bricked. Connection to the iTunes Store could not be made to complete the update. Apple Servers crashed. Nothing to do but wait with the little bricked iPhone until things come back to life. Cnet even posted a blog item about same thing with some adds....like Apple shutting off phone support at their help desk because they got swamped. Not encouraging.
I guess the sort of good news is that there are a lot of users. The downside is that even Apple cannot handle the volume of calls, update requests, etc., for all the devices already out the, let alone the newer ones trying to come online today.
So, let's hope they get this sorted. In the meantime, be prepared to not get the update download, or to get it and then have you iPhone bricked when you cannot complete the update through the iTunes Store. Time for another cup of coffee and a deep breath.

yea not sure they have the capacity to support all the global users wanting to update at the same time
I'm actually going to be intelligent for once, and wait a few weeks for all the congestion and bugs to be out of the way before I go buy the new iphone and change providers.:lecture::angel:
WOW!!!! That actually felt good to say, that I was going to resist and not be the first guinea pig.:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:

Well the Fifth Avenue Apple store still had a 3 hour wait at 11PM. They needed to shut down selling iPhones at 2AM for AT&T systems maintenance would would not allow activations. So, seeing as I wasn't going to wait 3 hours and be at the front of the line just in time for a 3 hour shut down, there was no way I was waiting.
So, I went home and did the 2.0 upgrade to my existing iPhone. Looks like they've solved the overload as my backup and activation went without a hitch. It took about 30 minutes for the whole process.....at which time I downloaded Super Monkey Ball. OK I'm getting old I sort of s*ck at these games. I think I need to upload Pong or Ms Packman next to have a bit of nostalgia.
So, while we all b*tch about today's process, just rewind the clock back to last July when all the iphones went on sale....even though you could do it at home, the systems still had problems coping.

For those who like music and find themselves listening to a song and wanting to know the artist or title, Shazam in the apps store is incredible. Put it up to the music source for a few seconds and it located artist, song and album.... And then of course you can buy it from iTunes. Awesome application!

Okay I am into FREE apps . What is cool out there , spent enough damn money on this thing. i did buy Monkey Ball , pretty cool.
Finally also i got the Iphone up running and working but I had my share of issues because when I bought at the AT&T store there was confusion with my phone some other guy goy it and they had to do a exchange and replace deal and wiped everything out almost. I had no phone part because they had the wrong Sim number in there . Voice Mail was knocked off , have that back now. My kids could not text mail because they blew off my unlimited texting for them, so overall rating for At&T and Apple the last couple days was a major issue. Everything seems to be back to normal for both of them. So i think it is safe to go buy one now. I also found a way on Mobile Me to bring in One Pop account into it, which is nice I can have my Cox account on the net in mobile me to see and reply with. Not always easy to do on the road the normal way but having it on Mobile me will help there.
