Your prediction came true. Activation was disastrous, but it didn’t happen in the store.

I tried to activate my phone 16 hours ago, and it’s still NOT activated. This has something to do with the rate plan that I had.

Why on God’s earth do they need a SSN? What the F**K?!? It’s a damned phone, I didn’t need to give that information when I set up my original account with PacBell Wireless (before it was Cingular – not AT&T).

I was going to get one – but they can kiss my boo-tay if they think I am gonna shell out all that money to get really pissed off about all the freggin’ hoopla they are gonna make me go through to ACTIVATE IT??! GTFOH!!

If I am doing ALL the work, what makes them think they get an activation fee? Arseholes!! It’s like when I call food in for take out – they think they get a tip!!

I love the concept of the iPhone, want one – but am gonna hang back out here with my Nokia E62 until the initial imperialist tones disappear from buying a PHONE.

I read in the USA Today that the stores are closing at 4:30pm and then re-open at 6pm and start to sell the phone I don’t think you will be able to get a contract before that time.

“And if you think the 6PM sale start is going to mean that people don’t camp out, because “there will be plenty”, I guess we’ll just see which one of us is right in a week or so… ”

Whoa, I believe I stated quite plainly that the extra stupid will line up in the middle of the night, so we’re on the same side on that. And as you can guess, since I’m calling those guys *extra* stupid, I’m on your side when it comes to lining up for it at all, although I am looking forward to its release.

BTW, iTunes does accept PayPal, so Apple doesn’t need your credit card (although someone does). Reports have been a little hazy on what that iTunes account requirement means. Obviously you need it to download media from the iTunes Store, but I wonder if it will be needed for anything else. Or maybe it’s just that iTunes is required to make it work, same as the iPod. I don’t know. Be interesting to find out.
