The phone speaks for itself.  I don\'t care what other devices my friends are using, everyone is interested in my iPhone.  I use my iPhone in every conceivable way when I don\'t see many other using the range of features that their \'smart phones\' offer.  That is the reason why Apple has this success.  They just know what makes sense, they understand how to keep it simple and make the experience feel good.<br><br>The problems that have been experienced today will soon pass.  Apple will make it right.  However, if this happens again and again, they will use some of the pluses that they have built up.<br><br>Keep up the great work.<br><br>Bob L.</div>\

They only signed existing customers for their midnight launch. The process was super fast. It took about 10 to 15 minutes in the store and that was it. I suppose it was this fast because the US launch hadn\'t started yet.<br><br>Secondly, I did think it was a bit ambitious by Apple to launch to so many markets with that many new online services all at the same time. I am sure they\'ll get it sorted eventually. And to be honest it will all worth while and why?<br><br>Because Apple seems to fundamentally understand how to hide technology from the user and let users focus on actually doing stuff with their device:<br><br>Here some examples:<br>- Apple\'s version of "the cloud" - aka <a href="http://me.com" rel="nofollow">me.com</a> - it\'s like Microsoft Mesh for non computer geeks... oh and did I mention that it works with both Mac and Windows PCs?<br>- AppStore - ever tried to explain to a non computer nerd how to install an application on windows mobile<br>- Google Maps plus GPS<br>- SMS conversations<br>- The interface<br><br>It was interesting to read the article on Alex Bogusky and his agency trying to make Microsoft cool. I think what the article didn\'t seem to get was that while Apple has the cool factor it also has some kick ass products.<br><br>I used to be a Microsoft fanboy but after comparing Vista with Mac OSX a year ago I decided to make the switch. Then I have had an iMate Windows Mobile phone the last two years but after seeing the 1st Gen iphone on a trip to the US I knew I had to have a 3G iPhone as soon as it was released.<br><br>Yes, Apple products aren\'t perfect... hey it\'s technology after all, right? But at least Apples products seem to be a bit more perfect than what we are currently seeing coming from Redmond or Finnland.</div>\

They have to be or they would not  have produced the consistently top rate products, marketing, and brand management we have observed to this point.  Could this same organization really not foresee the capacity issues they might face during the release of iPhone 2.0?<br><br>Just count the number of iPhones you shipped to vendors and multiply by the resources required during the average activation process.  That\'s the amount of resources you need.  Plus 20%.  This is simple planning.  What happened to Apple\'s calculations?<br><br>That raises the question: Could this just be a deft marketing move on Apple\'s part?<br><br>Actually, what does Apple have to lose through such a marketing plan?  They are essentially inconveniencing the hard core Mac Addicts that will buy Apple products regardless of the circumstance.  These folks are in Apple\'s pocket and will take a little abuse for the privilege of being one of the first with the newest shiny Apple toy.  (I mean that in the least offensive way possible.)  Apple probably isn\'t risking the population of users that are considering a switch, and more profits for Apple.<br><br>So now Apple as traded a little political capital with its hard core fans for the chance to say that iPhone 2.0 was so popular it crashed the iPhone activation infrastructure.  That is actually a pretty powerful statement of popularity.  Why not spend the political capital with its hard core users?<br><br>Now for the disclaimers.  I\'m a recent Mac convert and love my MBP.  I\'m currently strategizing a pitch to justify purchasing an iPhone 2.0 to my wife.  If the iPocalypse is a planned marketing event, I think it\'s brilliant.  I probably over-simplified things a little.<br><br>Now, if you\'ll excuse me, I\'m going to put an Apple sticker on my tinfoil hat.<br><br>Have a great weekend!</div>\

I find it a remarkable validation of the app store that so many existing users wanted to update immediately.<br><br>Apple has done an extraordinary thing in focusing their development efforts on the SDK and app store rather than features that will only be available by buying new handsets.  This is in marked contrast to other handset providers and consumer electronics in general.  The iphone 1.0 was not designed to obsolescence.  This makes existing customers very happy.  Apple did indeed "think different" here, and iphone owners want to take advantage of that.<br><br>If you go to a early morning sale on Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving) you should expect crowds, lines, and rapidly sold inventory.  Sometimes customers even get in a scuffle or stampede.  This is regrettable, and in these cases the store in question probably could have done more.  Ultimately, however, it was the customers choice to go to what they knew was going to be an challenging shopping experience.<br><br>This kind of learned consumer behavior needs to spread to the web.  Retail outlets are not designed for Black Friday and sites are not designed to update 70% of users in one day.  It would be a terrible business decision for a store to build special holding pens for atypical crowds, just as it would be wrong for apple to build a new data center just for firmware updates when they launch a major feature.  I\'m sure Apple could have prevented this problem, it sucks that phones are being bricked and I\'m sure they will find a better solution for the future.<br><br>Ultimately, consumers have some responsibility (i personally would say a lot) for choosing to use a brand new service on the first day of a worldwide rollout.  We\'re learning that when it comes to downloading apps online, your actions still operate in a larger context, caveat emptor.</div>\

Still this launch was bad, not only did Apple go down but in Canada the Rogers\' activation/upgrade network crashed for about 6 hours.

I can understand the activation server problems -- I\'m a software engineer, so I understand the difficulty in keeping such a service live.  I\'m not mad about that, but what really pisses me off is Apple\'s poor integration with AT&amp;T.  There was a problem with my AT&amp;T account that Apple couldn\'t see. So I had to go to an AT&amp;T store. They sent me back to Apple. I called AT&amp;T, and they basically said there\'s a communication bug between their service and Apple\'s service, and the result is Apple can\'t sell me an iPhone. I\'ve documented the entire process and what went wrong at iPhkd: <a href="http://iphkd.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://iphkd.blogspot.com/</a>.  Anyone else been blocked by AT&amp;T?</div>\
