First of all can I say I feel really stupid for actually upgrading on the first day of a software release. With Microsoft or any other company we have grown to not trust I wait weeks or months to upgrade. But this morning I am thinking… oh hey its Friday and not a lot of Flash / Flex work to do so I’ll tool around with my iPhone and upgrade. OMG MY BFF DEATH! My iPhone sits in emergency only mode with no way to recover. I get a message on iTunes that says it is my fault… how rude
We could not complete your ITunes Store Request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your (ha did you get that YOUR) settings are correct and your network connection is active, THEN try again.
I don’t know about you but I have tried again about 500 times. Click on party shuffle click back on iPhone. The more I do it the more pissed I get and want to throw my iPhone out the window.
I feel sorry for me but I feel more sorry for (well not really more sorry for) but kinda sorry for the people waiting in line right now to find out that they can buy a phone that is completely useless for the day or few hours of server down time. I bet some guy that this whole upgrade process was trusted to is being fired or promoted right now.
Dahhh!!!
I upgraded the night before it was available, and it went without a hitch! Sorry, Charlie.
App Store is great
I swear I am going to come to your house and burn all your iPhone apps! I hate you! lol

There’s a link here for the 2.0 software: http://gizmodo.com/5023760/how-to-install-the-iphone-20-update-right-now
I just tested it and it seems to still be working. Much love.
Gizmodo or some site said to leave the activation error up, and it should go away and activate within 10 mins. If you leave the screen & come back, it starts the process over.
Also, I suggest calling 911, and saying “This IS an emergency, I need to activate my iPhone!”
